@Religio et Patria – and your point is, exactly? No point, I imagine, given that you seem predisposed to wallow in what you yourself call “odious rumours” along with all the other bored fishwives.

The man you call ‘Daphne’s husband’ is actually Malta’s foremost authority on property law. He is consulted by other lawyers and by the Lands Department, and he wrote Malta’s legislation on property acquisition in the run-up to EU membership. It is in that capacity of expertise, and not as ‘Daphne’s husband’ that he handled the research into the acquisition of the Malta building in Brussels. To put it in a way that a simple mind like yours might comprehend, what Alex Manche is to heart surgery, my husband is to property law. You really are out of the loop if you imagine that the government would hand over such responsibility to somebody just because he is married to me. Both my husband and I do very well without government contracts, for the simple reason that we are very good at what we do. You might also wish to know that he was paid a pittance, and suffered a considerable opportunity cost in terms of time spent working on that contract, when he could have been working on something else and earning decent money for far less hassle. He did it to be of service. You might also wish to know that I objected to his working on the contract, because I knew that it would expose me – and him – to precisely this kind of malicious insinuation, and for that kind of rubbish money it just wasn’t worth the bother. One of the things that public life has taught me is that there are certain people who can’t survive without conspiracy theories, most of them seem to live in Malta, and at least half of them stalk me. I get the news about myself from other people, which is an interesting experience, I can assure you. So take your odious rumours and stuff them up some orifice, preferably your own.

It is the magistrate who is conducting the inquiry who gives the go-ahead for the burial. As a matter of fact the 3 bodies found haven’t been buried yet.

Incidentally, yes, it must have been around 1974.

Probably Amanda Mallia’s contribution made me recall that article, I am not good at remembering dates.

Before the Esmeralda tragedy there was that of the “Queen of Peace”. Was it 1974?

Rumours are rumours and whilst one may declaim them to be based on fact, I rather take the route of ignoring them unless they are indeed proven and therefore I shall refrain from making statements on the matter which are not based on actual and known truths.

I do have one question, though, and this is whether it is true or not that Daphne and Richard Cachia Caruana are friends… Not that this would diminish in any way her contribution regarding the Demarco saga but rather would possibly justify other odious rumours which may have been spread around regarding the so-called PN strategy team and even Dar Malta in Brussels (the contract for the purchase of which was, in part, publicly handled by the law firm in which Daphne’s husband and Dr. ABC are partners in).

Please give me a break. This is no conspiracy. Conspiracy and set-ups were something of the past.
This is what the italians would term as “inquinamento di prove”……and therefore “keep” any sensitive details from being divulged
