Comments on: Judge Lino Farrugia Sacco makes it to The Sunday Times (London), but for the wrong reasons https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2012/06/judge-lino-farrugia-sacco-makes-it-to-the-sunday-times-london-but-for-the-wrong-reasons/ Daphne Caruana Galizia is a journalist working in Malta.

Seems the only way Malta will make headlines in the Olympics is for being dirty.

[Daphne – Paul, I believe it’s actually “get ’em out for the lads”.]

Lately he seems to imitate the ex communist President of our northern neighbour who now wants to give advice on everything and to everyone.

Perhaps his daddy is hoping that the Commission for the Administration of Justice will procrastinate long enough till after the next election.

P.S.Is the young woman on the extreme right of your photo Dr Lydia Abela, the President’s daughter-in-law and one of the head honchos in the PL/MLP?

The art of lace-making is still alive and kicking in Malta.

[Daphne – Yes, that’s Lydia Abela. Her father-in-law the president of the republic heads the Commission for the Administration of Justice, and her husband, his son, is also a Labour candidate – and a lawyer who appears before Judge Farrugia Sacco.]

http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20120618/local/no-wrongdoing-in-olympics-ticket-sting.424793

Mr Justice Farrugia Sacco is quoted as saying:

“We would never go against the rules of the International Olympic Committee ( IOC). It’s not worth it.”

So presumably they would go against the rules if it was “worth it”.

Farrugia Sacco did not sell the tickets because it wasn’t worth the trouble. Dan bis-serjeta?

Or is this “mhux fl’interess tal-poplu”?

I will not comment on the possible fallout, implications and complications.

At this early stage I will limit myself to two words.

How naive.

“We would never go against the rules of the IOC. It’s not worth it.”

Jesus.
