This video was taken in 2009 and uploaded on Youtube. The person who took the video did not know the identity of the “fat and dirty Maltese man sleeping on the floor and snoring and farting while tourists laughed at him”, but in reality that man asleep on the catamaran floor is and was a Labour Party councillor in Floriana, Ivan Hallett, who travels regularly between Malta and Sicily where he loads up on goods, brings them in to Malta and sells them under the counter, leading to several complaints being filed against him by members of the Chamber of Commerce.

He also has a criminal conviction for obstructing Customs officers, the police and VAT inspectors, refusing to show them documentation, preventing them from checking his cargo and giving them false papers.
