Corrupt police inspector Roderick Zammit goes out on extended sick leave

Police inspector Roderick Zammit set up a company with his father, brother, Joe Gaffarena and gynaecologist George Buttigieg, Malta’s ambassador to the Holy See. This while his brother was supposed to be investigating and prosecuting Joe Gaffarena’s son-in-law for murder.

Police inspector Roderick Zammit, part of the corrupt father-and-sons police combo which includes his brother, former inspector Daniel Zammit and their father, former acting Commissioner of Police Ray Zammit, has gone out on extended sick leave.

His father and brother preceded him out of the force a few weeks ago. His brother – a 35-year-old who pumps 100kg of iron at the Ta’ Qali gym – was pensioned off as too disabled to work, then moved straight into a 60,000-euro-a-year consultancy job with Enemalta’s theft and fraud office. Their father had a job specially created for him at a government organisation that does not even exist yet: monitoring local wardens.

Plans for a ‘boarding-out’ pension process for Roderick Zammit, similar to his brother’s, appear to have been sabotaged by press coverage and parliamentary exposure.
