Simon Busuttil has been awarded 7,000 euro in libel damages after winning five cases he had instituted against l-Orizzont, it-Torca, One Radio and One Television.
It had been claimed that he somehow bribed the Gaffarena family.
At the time the cases were filed, in 2015, Dr Busuttil had insisted that Mr Gaffarena turned to the Labour Party because he had had the courage to say no when he asked him for a permit for his illegally built petrol station.
The Labour Party, on the other hand, gave him more than he wanted, included millions of euros for half a property in Valletta.
