Heritage watchdog
wants lower roof
for Rialto project
THE family of a man who died
after he was tasered by the po-
lice have filed a case against the
Police Commissioner and the
government's Principal Medical
Officer, claiming civil damages
for what they say is negligence,
unskillfulness and failing to fol-
low regulations by the officers
and doctors involved in the fatal
incident.
48-year-old Ronnie Ghiller died
of a heart attack in May 2020,
while being subdued by law en-
forcement officers, who were re-
sponding to a report of a distur-
bance near his home in Żabbar.

THE heritage watchdog has warned that a proposal
for a higher roof level on the Rialto Theatre in Bormla
will impact urban views of the parish church.
The Superintendence for Cultural Heritage is asking
the developers to lower the height of a roof structure.
It was reacting to photomontages presented by the
developers of the Rialto, a building owned by the La-
bour Party.
