Café Premier’s Mario Camilleri puts his home on the market for €3 million

Now that he has been safely bailed out by Joseph Muscat’s government, and his debts paid by the Maltese taxpayer, Café Premier’s Mario Camilleri has put his home ‘discreetly’ on the market for €3 million through Sotheby’s Realty Malta. It is also being promoted overseas.

The house itself is absolutely ghastly, the sort of thing you see in Sicily and New Joy-sey, furnished and decorated by Sicilian or Sicilian-descent hamalli with money made through Mafia connections and similar. From this sociological perspective alone, I find it fascinating.

But that’s an aside.

The real issue here is that he could have sold his house earlier and repaid his debts, but chose not to because he had fixed things with Prime Minister Muscat to bail him out at significant cost to the public purse.
