Oh, so she isn't a liar and a cheat – her husband was a kornut kuntent, miskin

Published: February 8, 2010 at 12:36pm

This morning the police contacted my web-host company again to demand information on who was officially responsible for this blog on 4 and 5 February. They told the company that this is a criminal investigation and that the information must be handed over.

Of course, in giving specific dates, they revealed their hand and Consuelo’s.

What posts were there on 4 and 5 February? Let’s see.

4 February – ‘Standards in public life’, an article which doesn’t mention Herrera specifically and which was carried in The Malta Independent

5 February – ‘Consuelo asks the police to protect her integrity’, in which I report how Herrera asks the police – oh delicious irony – to do just that

5 February – ‘Lies and credibility’, in which I say that Herrera is by definition a liar and a cheat. To dispute this, she would have to say that her husband was a kornut kuntent throughout her clandestine affair with Robert Musumeci, which he was not. Picture the scene: “Bye, honey. I’m off to shag your architect. Supper’s in the oven.”

This court case is going to be so much fun. Reporters are going to have a field-day.

Meanwhile, you might wish to know that I am going to present a formal complaint to the Commission for the Administration of Justice against Magistrate Herrera, to have her investigated for unethical behaviour in my regard.

    Daphne, are you using a local or foreign company for hosting services. If local switch to foreign. Especially the ones up north (Sweden or a far off one in the Bahamas). I can only think that the Malta police have no juridiction over them and cannot demand information like this was a criminal case.

    In more general terms, irrelevent of which court or jurisdiction one talks about, I wonder what is more criminal, a high member of a court playing party animal and therefore exposing herself to possible future interference in justice or a whistle blower?

    • David Thake says:

      Marcus, I think you are wrong on this. They can obtain the information via Interpol wherever a website is hosted. This is how hackers are traced from whichever country they attempt their break-in from.

      • La Redoute says:

        I sincerely hope that even this particular person doesn’t think wasting Interpol’s time, the way she’s wasted Malta’s police time, is going to ‘protect her integrity’.

        No, I don’t mean Daphne.

    • Whoa, there! says:

      Marcus: stop giving Daphne misleading and totally incorrect advice regarding hosting and other technical matters as it is clear you are not familiar with current legislation and how this has been applied and interpreted in our courts.

      • Marcus says:

        Whoa, there!

        Precisely what I meant. Interpretation by our local courts has no jurisdiction in territories on the other side of the Atlantic.

        While Interpol could be used for some cases (but not necessarily the case that they will get the info) I hardly believe that Interpol is going to act on a case about a denim skirt. Come on guys, keep perspective here please, otherwise we’ll start mentioning Interpol and the FBI/CIA/Mossad/KGB.

      • Whoa, there! says:

        Marcus,

        I was not the one to mention Interpol, Europol or any other foreign organisation. These are not relevant in this case.

        Case law shows, however, that the hosting element is not essential but what is essential is the ascertaining of the source of the posts, controls and moderation and, of course, the accessibility to the Maltese public. Full stop.

      • Marcus says:

        Whoa There!.

        Yes I know you’re not the one who mentioned Interpol etc.. I answered two posts in one.

        As regards your point: I don’t think you understand what I meant. My point is irrespective to who did the post, but about the Malta police force having investigative jurisdiction on hosting services abroad and asking for information from them.

        I think it is more than strikingly obvious who is doing the posts (hence the URL name) and Daphne is not hiding behind pseudo names, like you (mine is my true name at least).

        You would have probably read that her hosting service (ISP) was contacted various times for information. That information is (in my lay opinion) reserved to the ISP and the owner of the URL. Unless there are issues of international security or some TRUE criminal factors etc.. which as I stated before, a denim skirt does not constitute such a case.

        [Daphne – In fact, when the police were investigating the arson attack on our home four years ago, they demanded a list of phone numbers of those present in the immediate vicinity of the house at the time of the attack, from Vodafone and Go, but both companies refused to relinquish the information, citing the Data Protection Act, and the matter went to court.]

      • David Thake says:

        There seems to be some confusion here as to what an ISP is OBLIGED to do at law.

        Here is the position, in writing, by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner:

        “In accordance with Article 355AD of the Criminal Code, the Police are empowered to request any information necessary for the purposes of investigating a crime. In such a case, providing the information does not constitute a breach under the Data Protection Act, since further to their request, your entity is under a legal obligation to comply and thus covered under article 9 (c) of said Act, ‘processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation.’ “

    What is the case? Libel?

    l thought the police were busy this morning, reading the song lyrics of the Nadur carnival music. Incidentally I’m surprised they don’t want to preview the costumes being worn too. Nun, priest and Jesus costumes are out but what about
    magistrates? Will anyone wearing a denim miniskirt and a black lion wig be arrested?

  8. edgar gatt says:

    Make sure that you inform us when the first sitting is. I shall give up my golf for that day and be on the front bench. Will Consie be wearing her skirt tal jeans?

    • Philip says:

      Edgar, for you to give up golf shows such a sense of priorities. Jien ghal mieghek. Lunch afterwards, washed down with some champers no doubt.

  9. Antoine Vella says:

    Please allow me to repost this comment here as it might be lost in the “Sorry, but I was busy” entry.

    Minister Carm Mifsud Bonnici cannot intervene directly in a specific case (and we wouldn’t want him to) but he is still politically responsible for ‘Home Affairs’ and all those who object to the way the police are behaving should write and voice their concerns. Even a brief note is better than nothing.

    • Whoa, there! says:

      God forbid we arrive at a point where politicians interfere in police investigations: according to our laws, Mr. Vella, the police are duty bound to investigate any instance where a crime may have been committed or could be committed. Just have a look at the Code of Police Laws when you have some time.

    • Leo Said says:

      @ Antoine Vella,

      as a most loyal PN acolyte, your good self should personally keep Minister Mifsud Bonnici informed of the exchanges on this blog and elsewhere.

  10. Stephen Forster says:

    Your going to need a bigger site at this rate to handle the “hits” when that starts……

    • Anna says:

      And an even bigger courtroom when this case starts being heard, hopefully not behind closed doors.

      • Mandy Mallia says:

        Why behind closed doors?

        We have been led to believe that the magistrate would like the truth to be made public. One would therefore assume that she has no reason to request that the case is heard behind closed doors.

  11. kev says:

    The reason why they again checked who was responsible for the blog on those later dates is to make sure the blog did not change hands since they would like to add the updates to their case.

  12. Marku says:

    I have always believed that one of the biggest mistakes Fenech Adami made when he became PM was not to purge the police force of its bad apples. It was not enough to prosecute only the police commissioner. Although I understand that Fenech Adami wanted the country to move on, his decision left us with a police force that still retains a tendency to act in a heavy handed manner especially where civil rights issues are concerned. Such behavior within the police force is now almost institutionalized.

    Qed nikkwota minn It-Torca tal-bierah:

    • Mandy Mallia says:

      Funnily enough, nowhere do the Labour media publicly acknowledge or state the fact that the couple in question are a couple.

      Under normal circumstances, the Labour media would have had a field-day had Daphne “picked on” (which is more-or-less how they put it) a Nationalist politician.

      The only reason they are defending him now is presumably because of his “connection” – banish the images – with a Labour magistrate, the sister of a Labour MP.

    • toni cachia says:

  14. Babel says:

    The police cannot just phone your hosting company and demand information because they have an ongoing criminal investigation.

    I would have though that they would require a warrant. If they did not have one (don’t exclude back-dated ones), then your hosting company would have breached the data protection act.

    [Daphne – They called the Data Protection Commission.]

    • David Thake says:

      Babel, you are wrong.

      We treat our customers’ data with the utmost confidentiality but we have to respect the law.

      The Data Protection Act excludes the police and security services when these are acting on criminal investigations or on issues of national security.

      The Police do NOT require a warrant to request information. They only need to inform us that there is an ongoing criminal investigation and they must cite the law under which authority they are requesting this information.

      When I felt that the amount of information requested was unusual I clarified the position with the Data Protection Commission.

      Once again, we treat our customers’ data with the UTMOST respect.

    • Mandy Mallia says:

      In 1984 it was Daphne, David Thake and a few others unfairly being meted out the good-old Labour police treatment.

      Almost three decades down the line – when everyone was comfortable in the thought that we would never endure those awful times again – here we go again, only this time with Labour being in power. They would have to pick Daphne this time round too! Ironically, all these years later, David Thake is implicated once again too, albeit in a different manner.

      David, having been through all that in the 1980s, you should know a thing or two about Labour police tactics.

      • Whoa, there! says:

        Labour police tactics? In 2010 when the PN has been in government continuously – more or less – for nearly 23 years?

        Isn’t it strange that whatever happens in this blasted country of ours we have to try and blame everything and anyone other than ourselves for it?

        In this case, it appears evident that if certain practices are allowed to go on, it is because the people ultimately responsible for the enforcement of the law are not in a position – or indeed willing – to take steps.

        If one looks at the various codes of ethics and oaths of office which are blatantly and shamelessly disregarded, one cannot but come to the conclusion that whilst the ordinary citizen is expected to move carefully as otherwise the full force of the law would bear on him or her, the members of the most distinguished institutions of the land (who are supposed to be there to serve us and to be an example) shall do whatever pleases their whims.

        Shame on them but even greater shame on us for allowing all this to go on and wasting our time in petty partisan squabbles which does nothing but ensure that the status quo is preserved.

      • David Thake says:

        Yes Mandy. This is – in a small way – a throw back to the 80s.

        The Police are still fighting to protect the Sacred Cows of the island. Only now they don’t sit in Parliament.

      • claude says:

  15. open minded says:

    What makes you think that she didn’t have an open marriage arrangement? If that’s the case, she wouldn’t have been lying or cheating would she? Maybe it was hushed up ghal-ghajn in-nies…..

    [Daphne – Oh, get a grip.]

    • La Redoute says:

      What a load of tripe. As Georg Sapiano pointed out elsewhere on this site, her actions exposed her to the possibility of blackmail, and that is the crux of the matter. No arrangement or understanding at home can mitigate that fact.

    • open minded says:

      Daphne, my comment was written tongue in cheek….

    This is one of the coolest websites I have ever been in, and this woman has got balls. Jesus, I thought this kind of characters were extinct.

  17. Nat says:

    And another thing – doesn’t this woman realise she is completely ridiculous in that skirt? Dak it tpahpih u xaham jaqbez? And if you have to wear that skirt at least wear a stylish top mhux qisu tal-Abanderado. Imagine my mum in that skirt.

  18. Guzeppi says:

    Strange: Tiger Woods lost most of this advertising revenue for cheating on his wife.

    Strange: John Terry lost his England captaincy for the same reason.

    Stranger: Magistrate Consuelo Herrera still has her job.

    [Daphne – That’s because in Catholic Malta, where there is no divorce and where we are really big on morality, you’re allowed to screw around and nobody is allowed to discuss it.]

    • Mandy Mallia says:

      You forgot to mention the ex-Commission of Police, George Grech, who stepped down from his job following the exposure of his fling with that wannabe bimbo.

  19. Mandy Mallia says:

    The reporters would have a field-day, Daphne, as would the hundreds of others who would be queueing to join in the spectacle.

    The question is, what if the lady in question asks for the case to be heard behind closed doors, for fear of what may be revealed? That is an unlikely case, however, since the lady has nothing to hide.

    [Daphne – It’s not her prerogative to ask for the case to be held behind closed doors.]

  20. C. camilleri says:

    Commissioner of Police George Grech had to resign after ferocious attacks from the media especially “Malta Today” for a similar case. The post he held was no longer tenable.

    Why is the media keeping so mute this time? What is its agenda now? They were happy to destroy Comm. Grech and now all this silence from all the media. Is is a case of the friends of friends?

    John Terry has been stripped of the English team captaincy because of alleged having an affair with the former partner of teammate Wagne Bridge.

    What is stopping Consuelo Herrera from stepping down from her post?

    [Daphne – I’ll give you the answer in Maltese: wicca u sorma l-istess. U minn dejjem kienet hekk. The reason why she won’t resign is the reason why she behaves the way she does.]

    This is the only honourable way out for her and not going to the police.

  21. John Azzopardi says:

    Since when is anyone obliged to give information to the police over the telephone? How could anyone be sure that the police are in fact at the other end of the line? I think it is abusive of the police to act this way (but what’s new?) and not quite correct for the web-host company to divulge the information simply because a voice over the telephone asked them to.

    [Daphne – That’s why they were told that the person under arrest would not be released until the information was divulged.]

    • David Thake says:

      John, you are not correct.

      The information was requested from us by the normal and proper channels that we have for communication with the Police.

      I was 100% sure of the identity of the Superintendent that I spoke to when I gave the information to him. Once again, we are BOUND to provide the information to the Police and there is no pussy-footing around on this.

      Yes, I was told that Daphne was under arrest and that they would not release her until I had given this information. Under those circumstances I chose to give them this information immediately and allow Daphne to get on with her day.

      I confirmed the information to the Police by subsequent email.

      • Anthony Farrugia says:

        Daphne: Were you actually “under arrest”; I thought you had been invited for an interview at Police HQ? Were you offered coffee and biscuits ?

    • Corinne Vella says:

      John: You’re getting hold of the wrong end of the stick. The mistake was setting the whole process in motion.

  22. Tony Pace says:

    @All

    The below is food for thought. Especially the final bit about an officer’s ”integrity” as reported on Sky news today:

    Top London Policeman Dizaei Gets Four Years In Jail
    ==========================================

    A top Metropolitan Police officer has been jailed for four years after being found guilty of threatening and falsely arresting a man in a row about money.

    Commander Ali Dizaei was convicted of misconduct in public office and perverting the course of duty after a trial. six men and six women returned its guilty verdict in under three hours.

    During the trial, the court heard the 47-year-old got into a row with Waad Baghdadi over £600 which Dizaei owed him for work on a website.

    The jury was told Comm. Dizaei said to Mr al Baghdadi he would “f*** up your life” and there were “10 witnesses” who would back him up.

    The judge said the four-year jail sentence included a deterrent element “to send a clear message that police officers of whatever rank are not above the law”.
    ======================================
    Mr Justice Simon said: “You should have drawn a very clear line between your personal position with regard to the victim and your position as a police officer.
    “You crossed that line and now stand convicted of these offences.”
    “Mr Dizaei’s corruption, which would have been deplorable for any police officer, was all the more so given his position as a highly ranked police commander.”

    “The greatest threat to the reputation of the police service is criminals in uniform like Dizaei.

    “Corruption comes in many forms and remains a threat to the police service. It requires constant vigilance to fight it. Integrity must not be negotiable.”
    =========================

    Now who can we get to read this ?

    • Mandy Mallia says:

      And here in Malta we have police inspectors with a unique name commenting on The Times comments board about the Daphne / Consuelo case:

      “Pierre Micallef Grimaud (3 days, 14 hours ago)
      Reflection of the day: ….. “Those who are vulnerable should not attack others. The proverb has been traced back to Geoffrey Chaucer’s ‘Troilus and Criseyde’ (1385). George Herbert wrote in 1651: ‘Whose house is of glass, must not throw stones at another.’ This saying is first cited in the United States in ‘William & Mary College Quarterly’ (1710). Twenty-six later Benjamin Franklin wrote, ‘Don’t throw stones at your neighbors’, if your own windows are glass.’ ‘To live in a glass house’ is used as a figure of speech referring to vulnerability.” From “Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and Sayings” (1996) by Gregory Y. Titelman (Random House, New York, 1996).” ( http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20100204/local/magistrate-abstains-from-caruana-galizia-cases )

      Some may say that he commented as an individual (as opposed to as being a police inspector). Surely someone in his position should refrain from commenting publicly – especially on what is quite obviously such a sensitive issue – no matter how vague his comments are?

  23. Mat says:

    I would change the site from you son’s name to yours – should not be that hard but might save a bit of hassles here and there. You know how cowards play.

    [Daphne – It’s been done.]

  24. Anthony Briffa says:

    I am sure the Minister of Justice and the Chief Justice are being briefed about what is being said and the photos that are being shown. They cannot remain silent anymore. The least the minister can do is to assure us that he is investigating and that he will issue a statement at the opportune time including the remedial actions he would be recommending to cabinet.

    One recommendation should be that judges and magistrates should not be appointed in future before they appear before a parliamentary commission to prove their integrity in a 360 degrees manner.

    The executive has to keep in mind that such appointments, when given, cannot be cancelled unless impeached by parliament with a two-thirds majority and that every bad choice will carry its own repercussions on the system.

    Silence means consent. A lot of harm has been done already to our justice system with the Arrigo/Vella bribery case. The Maltese citizens need to regain their trust in our judiciary as soon as possible.

    • Mandy Mallia says:

      Their silence is deafening.

  26. Antoine Vella says:

    I don’t know if anybody else has noted the irony of it all and the big difference between today and the Labour decades. The police are still using their traditional bullying methods, but this time they are not protecting the government but the opposition, or at least, a magistrate very close to the opposition.

    I don’t know of any anti-government Labour-leaning journalist/columnist/blogger/writer who has been treated this way because some minister didn’t like what they wrote. Is it a coincidence that such MLP methods have been instigated by an LP sympathiser?

    If they manage to do this while in opposition, God help us all should they ever be in government.

    • Whoa, there! says:

      Antoine, your argument is flawed to begin with: in your drive to politicise anything under the sun, you fail to mention that from what was posted by Daphne, it results that a report was also lodged by Perit Musumeci who is a PN mayor and until now a PN electoral candidate.

      [Daphne – To say that Robert Musumeci is Nationalist is stretching things to the limit. Perhaps he was once, but not since he’s been swallowed whole by that anaconda.]

      You and others here seem to forget that Labour paid for what happened by pre-1987 with the number of years the electorate felt it should stay in opposition.

      What is not being said, however, is that the PN under Gonzi has led the country down to a period of moral and socio-economic decay and the in-fighting amongst the PN parliamentary group and the attitudes shown in this blog are indicative of a party which has served its tenure in office.

      Now, if the people were to deem it fit to elect the PL into government, it would just be part of the democratic game and would allow the PN to rediscover its identity and regroup. Simple as that…. It seems, however, that few people have seen the writing on the wall which the people gave in the last general elections and the MEP elections!

      • Antoine Vella says:

        Whoa, there!

        Nothing that Joseph Muscat has said or done since becoming ‘mexxej’ (or earlier) gives any indication that he would make a passable PM. On the contrary, the unbelievable arrogance and intolerance of Labourites like Julia Farrugia is alarming. Did you read her statement on behalf of the Institute of Maltese Journalists? She wants the police to silence Daphne’s blog and they would do it too if the PL had more power than it has now.

        Should the PL grab power it would immediately set about systematically depriving us of civil and human rights. There is no doubt of that.

      • Whoa, there! says:

        Daphne: Now, really, to allege that Robert Musumeci may not be Nationalist, now, simply because he may have a partner who you say is a Labourite is grand.

        [Daphne – That’s NOT what I meant. His mistress – quit the partner, please, because it’s ridiculous – is not ‘just’ a Labourite, but a prime mover in the Labour Party, organising ‘meet Jason Micallef’ (not any more) and ‘meet Charlon Gouder’ intimate parties and playing political chess games. I think Victor Scerri had better examine very, very carefully who might have shopped him to Labour. And I think Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando had better do the same. Once your loyalty to the party (and this applies to Labour too, as you know) is in doubt, once you are seen as the weakest link, then first a fence is a put around you and later you are let go. Musumeci is making all this fuss and seeking to blame others because he cannot face the fact that he put a large rocket under his own life and political career through his own choices. No one else is to blame. Only he is. The fact is that electors appear to have understood this: he won’t be elected even if he stands for the casual election, because he just doesn’t have the votes.]

        I know many MPs and candidates from both sides of the House who have partners with differing political orientations.

        At the end of the day, Daphne, you can’t just always paint people good or bad, worthy or unworthy, honest or dishonest according to their political affiliation.

        Until we get rid of this now overcooked partisan mentality, we won’t move forward as a country.

        [Daphne – I don’t judge people according to their political orientation. I assess them according to their character. I would have held these two in low regard whatever they voted – and in fact, they vote differently, or did so up until now. Unfortunately, people of a certain kind of character tend to be attracted to the Labour Party. It’s the reason why the ‘new faces’ Labour is attracting are really nothing more than shoddy characters.]

    • Paul Bonnici says:

      It’s the gutless PN that has allowed the police to behave this way; they should have got rid of the rotten apples the police force had amongst its ranks. The police seem unaccountable to anyone and at times seem above the law.

    • Antoine Vella says:

      fanny,

      I always thought that ‘mutton dressed as lamb’ referred to a person of a certain age, such as a magistrate in early middle-age (the example came to mind quite spontaneously), trying to look younger but only managing to look ridiculous.

  36. SM says:

    The police’s behaviour is really strange in this case and I will explain why. I recently went to file a report with the fraud section on a specific person who was using the internet to host an updated travel website to lure people to book travel, pay & never get anything in return. This happened to me. When I had asked the police to close down the website so that no other poor souls get trapped in this net, the police told me that they do not have the power to investigate and close down the internet site. At the time, I kept staring at the police with my mouth open in disbelief.

      Does this person have a travel agency on the Qui-Si-Sana seafront by any chance? At least the office has already been closed down so hopefully the website will soon follow suit.

    I suppose that the President, Prime Minister, Minister of Justice, Chief Justice, even the Leader of the Opposition, and all those who make up the Commission for the Administration of Justice are well aware of the harm done to the image of justice in Malta by this whole affaire.

    What are they going to do about it? Being Malta, I suppose look the other way and pray it goes away by itself.

    What about the newspapers? Either they have their own agenda or keep publishing ministerial press releases which nobody reads. And finally what about the IGM which is supposed to keep an eagle eye that journalists are not hampered in exposing the truth – nothing, not a single peep. You have got to be manhandled by the bouncers at the Casino Di Venezia to get a protest from the the IGM.
    I would just give up were it not for blogs like this one – thanks, Daphne.
