Sandro the tool has been ditched
Sandro at Delimara with Dom Mintoff (all together now - jaqq).
What, Sandro? Who’s he? Never heard of him.
Oh, you mean THAT Sandro. All together now: I thought he was Michael Cassar.
The party has issued statements claiming that he has had nothing to do with Marlene and Manuel Business Forum. It’s just a coincidence that Manuel Business Forum is his defence lawyer.
Compare this to the way the Labour Party is fighting Consuelo Herrera’s battle and attacking me relentlessly in an attempt at shoring her up.
The magistrate has the entire Super One/Maltastar/KullHadd machinery at her disposal. It pays to be chummy with Charlon Gouder, Jason Micallef and Ronnie Pellegrini.
I forgot to tell you what she said in court about her relationship with Charlon Gouder. ‘He was at my 45th birthday party because he’s on the law course with my daughter, and my daughter was at the party too.’
Yes, indeed: and that’s why Charlon Gouder was her chum and playmate in the general election campaign – because he was her daughter’s co-student on the law course. Unless Charlon’s been doing a lot of flunking, he wasn’t on the law course back then. Did Consuelo’s daughter also feature at Charlon and Consuelo’s cosy dinners at Hugh Anastasi’s house?
I hardly think so.
The mistake Sandro made was not to court Charlon Gouder and Jason Micallef. And not to have a brother who’s a Labour MP of the nature of Jose Herrera.

I hope Mag. Herrera’s daughter does not get the same results Charlon did.
The difference between the two is that the case against Chetcuti is clear-cut and indefensible, whilst that against the magistrate is still an open battlefield with the chances of coming out clean for Consuelo still a likely possibility.
[Daphne – Hardly. As we have seen, whatever the outcome of the case, its process is proving to be her undoing.]
“coming out clean” – what a joke. These shenanigans are going down in history and will probably form part of the study reference of the Code of Ethics at university.
No amount of Lava Sbianca will get her out clean.
The Magistrate’s case is already over and done with. Even if she manages to convince the magistrate that she is the Virgin Mary (and that’s a long, long shot) her image has been tarnished beyond repair through her own actions. Sadly enough, it is a result of her immaturity and inability to grasp the basic principles of honesty and integrity.
The accused in the case is Daphne. The magistrate has not been accused on anything.
Well John, that all depends on what she was doing at the time DCG wrote about her.
[Daphne – She was in Singapore with John Charles Ellul, on an inkjesta magisterjali.]
NGT, it depends on the AG and the police.Time will tell. Some people think that the magistrate is the accused in court. Others think that breaking the Code of Ethics is some criminal offence.
We will soon hear someone say that “il-Magistrat harget liberata”.
John – I was actually being a facetious twit. My comment refers to your ‘the magistrate has not been accused on anything’… geddit?
In what has been described as wheels within wheels, and is now looking more like a “party within the party,” I had JoeM’s same thoughts. The magistrate is herself a person of the law, so she would have a clear idea how to use bits and pieces of the law to her defence.
Which may explain why she did not feel defamed by statements made about her behaviour which could be a basis for impeachment, but by some descriptive statements which look more like an opinion, and therefore may be harder to prove.
However, her other alleged acts, unless rebutted, are so grave that her credibility may be seriously damaged. Now, unless we get another JPO effect like we had in the last general elections, this case will leave a mark on all those involved. Was it the Americans who said that there is no such thing as bad publicity?
‘Which may explain why she did not feel defamed by statements made about her behaviour which could be a basis for impeachment…’
That is why there is a chief justice and a Justice Commission. If she chooses to brush off serious allegations, they certainly should not. Their job is not to take notes.
I may be the odd one out, but if, whilst at university, somebody in my course invited me to her 25 yr older mother’s birthday party, I would have given them a rather strange look and politely declined, unless really good friends!
And if my 20-year-old daughter was friendly with an older man with a bit of a past, the last thing I would do would encourage her to be friendly with him.
Then again, if I had a 20-year-old daughter in the house, that alone would have made me think twice about taking on a lover, and one who is almost ten years my junior, at that.
Lil Joseph Muscat: “smajtu jidden is-serduk tlett darbiet??”
Yes, he did but that is where the resemblance ends. Unlike St Peter, the PL never repents. No regrets.
On the contrary, they’ll be happy to provide the woodwork.
It has not yet dawned on the Labour Party.
I used to have lectures with Charlon and Consuelo’s daughter, but she didn’t invite me and my mates. That’s so unfair.
Maybe you didn’t have the necessary physical attributes.
Thank god I’m not a bus.
Yesterday, l-Orizzont reported the case without mentioning the name Sandro Chetcuti, and I lost count of the number of times the word “allegat” was used.
http://www.l-orizzont.com/news.asp?newsitemid=61138
But today, l-Orizzont names him, and the word “allegat” vanishes.
http://www.l-orizzont.com/news.asp?newsitemid=61168
It seems they’re taking their cues from this blog. Daphne can lead them to the edge of a cliff and make them jump without their knowing.
With eight witnesses …
And how many more of her daughter’s co-students were invited to the party?
hear hear ! isn’t it funny that Mario Azzoppardi (Toronto) and Norman Lowell are expounding similar opinions.
Norman Lowell(6 minutes ago)
“Therefore we deserve to have a shell for our theatre.
Mr Piano has indeed seen our soul and understood it to the hilt. He’s giving us a hollow shell to represent it. We deserve everything we’re about to get.”
Spot on!
We are a people that have lost our soul.
We have allowed a decrepit elite, culture destroyers: to atomize us, empty us of all that is noble and rich.
We are now, as a People: culturally destitute.

What lies. It’s not like Charlon attends lectures anyway, or studies for that matter – that’s one reason why he failed his Constitutional law exam.
Actually I’d like to add something to that. Charlon must turn up to lectures first to be able to socialize with Consuelo’s daughter, and then disappear before the rest of us arrive. Sometimes he doesn’t even turn up for his exams and did a few in September last year.

“And, please, don’t mention blogs to me at the moment,” he said in an obvious reference to the blog of columnist Daphne Caruana Galizia who stands charged with defaming Magistrate Consuelo Scerri Herrera through a series of entries.

He should have said:’And please do not mention magistrates to me at the moment….’
… nor architects
It’s an honour having all the Labour Party and its inciting machinery against you. You will certainly dribble them like the PN did. The PN succeeded in winning over three leaders: Dom Mintoff, KMB and ALfred Sant. All of them one by one. Even with an oiled propaganda machinery, because as Joseph Muscat plagiarised Eddie Fenech Adami, is-sewwa jirbah zgur.
Sandro the Goon more like
Sandro Chetcuti is another Labour fall guy. He is already a distant memory as far as the Business Forum is concerned and they have washed their hands. He is small fish as he will find out very shortly while serving time at the taxpayers’ expense.
The magistrate on the other hand is a public figure who has perjured herself and is the subject of discussion about hugely unethical behaviour. She is also the sister of an aspiring Minister of Justice should Labour be given a mandate to govern.
Marisa the PR executive has her job cut out to get away with this one.
Daphne you wrote very well about the magistrate that this case ‘is proving to be her undoing’.
The trouble with the magistrate and her coterie is that, while on one hand, they know very well the mis-doings which they carried out throughout the years and are trying very hard to keep secret, on the other hand, they are bloody terrified at how much Daphne knows and when and how much she will publish.
Dan m’hu xejn ghal hdejn it-tahwid li jhawwdu Musumeci u siehbu Stephen Spiteri flimkien mal-girlfriends taghhom.
You forgot to mention the independent newsapaer l-Orizzobt and it-Torca.
L-OrrizZOBt? Was that intentional or just a typo?
Funny how balanced you are Daphne! How come you felt it fit to comment so much about this incident but you failed to mention anything about the latest Zeppi il-hafi fraudster action? Isn’t this a case of two weights and two measures? Criticise the Labour side as much as you wish but lest we forget that the PN has many skeletons in their closets.
I know that you shall not print this but it gives me great satisfaction to know that you have read it!
[Daphne – God, how tiresome you people are. Joseph Fenech has nothing to do with the Nationalist Party, and he certainly does not organise business dinners for Lawrence Gonzi. But that might be because Lawrence Gonzi wasn’t an arriviste when he became party leader, and knew them all already, in his personal capacity. What’s pathetic is not so much that Sandro Chetcuti of all people was tasked with organising these dinners, but that they had to be organised at all because Joseph Muscat knows no one.]
“I know that you shall not print this but it gives me great satisfaction to know that you have read it!” As pathetic as his non-argument.
Isma Laboris Daphne miex it-Timesofmalta.com. ghaliex tippublika dak kollu li wiehed ikun jixtieq jespriemi ruhu. Thanks Daphne.
Talking about fraudsters, did PL disassociate itself from this candidate and ex-MP?
http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20100313/local/notary-convicted-again-gets-interdiction
Yes it did – many many times and many years ago.
BTW – Schembri Adami is also an ex PN candidate.
[Daphne – No, you’re utterly wrong there. He joined the Labour Party after the Nationalist Party refused to put him on its ticket. Since then, something seems to have gone badly wrong with the PN’s psychosometric testing because too many people who are one sandwich short of a picnic are being let through.]
“Magistrate Audrey Demicoli yesterday said a prison sentence would not be ideal because he would not be able to pay the victims back.”
How will he do that? I hope not by defrauding the next victims.
That would be difficult. He’s been interdicted.
Twanny, if the PL disassociated itself from Sandro Schembri Adami ‘many many years ago’ how is it that he’s not back in the fold together with AST and Joseph(Joe) Grima?
Actually he does know people – those parliamentarians who have occupied the opposition benches for the past two decades.
“Joseph Fenech has nothing to do with the Nationalist Party”
So who gave him his 3 presidential pardons (drug trafficking, armed robbery and attempted murder)? Father Christmas?
[Daphne – The president.]
Not really. In such cases, the president is bound by the constitution to act on the advice of the PM. And the PM at the time was Fenech Adami.
[Daphne – By the same token, Twanny, you can go to England and chastise the queen for accepting advice to grant immunity to criminals who turn queen’s evidence. But you obviously swallowed Sant’s hogwash there – the same hogwash, incidentally, which drowned him. And no, it’s not the prime minister who gives a recommendation to the president for immunity to those who turn state’s evidence. It’s the Attorney-General. We have separation of powers in Malta now – unlike in Labour’s day.]
But the queen, as far as I know, never holds secret, nocturnal meetings under road bridges to discuss the terms of the pardons with the criminals concerned.
[Daphne – Nor does our president. Again, you’re getting your roles confused, as with your separation of powers.]
And Żeppi’s evidence – such as it was – was thrown out by no less than three different juries and contradicted by the only eyewitness (Jensen Testaferrata).
[Daphne – Two juries, and that happened largely because the Labour leader for whom you voted decided to turn both trials into a political circus, using Labour’s giant media machine to do so. Fortunately, that decision only served to help him hit the electoral rocks even harder than ever. Please don’t draw me into saying what I think about Nicholas Jensen’s reliability and testimony, or the fact that the defence lawyer of the criminal in question lives just across the road from him and was sometimes at his house, including during the trial.]
Yet his pardons were never withdrawn.
[Daphne – Only somebody who votes Labour thinks that pardons can be withdrawn if testimony does not result in conviction. Stop spouting party propaganda because it is really, really tiresome. Get a mind of your own, will you.]
I missed the bit about the AG. Totally wrong – the decision is made by the PM. Which is not to say that he does not consult the AG first, but the final responsibility is his.
[Daphne – You’re the one who’s wrong, my dear. Ministers of government cannot interfere in the business of the courts. But somebody who votes Labour wouldn’t understand that.]
Wrong again.
1) Fenech Adami DID meet Żeppi l-Ħafi under the road bridge at St Julian’s – that was not denied.
2) Regarding the way the President can give pardons, check out Chapter 85 of the constitution.
3) The pardons given to Il-Ħafi were conditional on him telling the truth. He did not, so they should have been withdrawn.
[Daphne – He did. You seem to forget that there was another person present: the victim – somebody with a forensic memory, powers of observation and attention to detail – unlike Nicholas Jensen.]
“Ministers of government cannot interfere in the business of the courts.”
True – but the use of the presidential pardon is NOT a court matter or decision but an administrative/political measure.
[Daphne – No, it isn’t. It is obviously – I say ‘obviously’, but with people who vote Labour one never knows what is obvious and what is not – a decision for the prosecution: the police/AG. Perhaps I should have been more specific, and not said ‘courts’, lest you imagine the chief justice is involved.]
Ideally, the path should be from the police to the AG to the Minister of Justice to the PM (who takes and is responsible for the final decision) and finally to the President who’s role is simply to sign the “proklama”.
[Daphne – Satisfy my curiosity here: did you vote for Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici after he said in an interview with a London newspaper that the government will remove the law courts and replace them with ‘people’s courts’? If you did, I can’t take you seriously on any discussion of this nature.]
‘The PN has many skeletons in its closets.’
And in Labour’s closets you’ll find Ronnie Pellegrini, Jason Micallef and Manuel Mallia.
… and Muscat’s trying to sound progressive … http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20100313/local/muscat-moots-setting-up-of-second-university
Dear Daphne, since you seem to have made it your mission to reform our legal system – the magistrature in particular – could you favour us with your thoughts on this case?
http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20100312/local/zeppi-l-hafi-acquitted-in-fraud-case
[Daphne – I don’t have any thoughts on these cases, either, even though he was a star candidate in the Labour Party and one of Alfred Sant’s Labour MPs

[Daphne – The hass mal-bass is all yours. But then you really do have to think with the contents of your underpants to vote Labour.]
Muscat tqalla:

“Dr Muscat said he was ‘disgusted’ that sections of the media were trying to make a connection between him and this unjustified attack.”
No one linked Muscat to this unjustified attack on this blog. He was linked with Sandro Chetcuti. Notice how he did not deny that.
Yes, duly noted. That’s something he can’t deny.
dear daphne,just admit twanny is right., and no ,i vote pn, but I think we should not try to be omnipotent, and never wrong,like the present state of Malta,admit it Gonzi has made some huge mistakes and unfortunatley this pn leader is no where as good as others before him! may GOD help him,miskin.
Gonzi miskin?
@Lola
LOL
Charlon Gouder is a second-year law student but the magistrate’s daughter is in first year.
