Addressing the media outside the law courts soon after he witnessed defrocked priests Godwin Scerri and Carmelo Pulis be escorted to jail in a prison van, Lawrence Grech – who had put his face to the cases against the two priests – said that he was not going to forgive them.
“I will not forgive,” Grech said, adding that “government must now insist with the Archbishop’s Curia to transfer all the files it has on many other victims to the Police, just across the road, so that they would be thoroughly investigated.”
Grech, who according to Judge David Scicluna who presided over the Court of Criminal Appeal was the subject of “blatant contradictions” and at times “lied” in his evidence, cried when he was asked how he felt when he saw Pulis and Scerri being handcuffed and taken to prison.
“I regarded Fr. Pulis as my father…what can I say, I am saddened,” he said.
