Read this report: http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20120709/local/First-online-dictionary.427744

“The ministry is contributing €80,000 to the project, which will be led by author and head of Maltese at University Manwel Mifsud.”

They didn’t even realize that Manwel Mifsud is not the author Immanuel Mifsud, but a completely different person, namely the Head of the Department of Maltese at the University.

Which means that certain journalists are asleep on their feet.

This article might be of interest to you:

“Den Dover, a former Tory MEP, was forced to resign after being asked to pay back over £345,000”

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/8592262/European-Parliament-refuses-to-release-MEP-secret-internal-audits.html#

How would Franco Debono’s Party financing paper deal with such a ‘free flight, free hotel, free dhow party, free taxi, free sewing kit’ ? The PL declaring these as donations or not?

Oh the irony…
MEP 456 might soon end up being referred to as MEP -€456,000

And by investigative journalism I do not mean pathetic attempts of sensationalism like that of Stango Navarro.

You forgot to mention Evarist Bartolo. He is usually the first to allege corruption where it does not exist.

God bless the Labour party – they can now boast of Inspector Gadget and Dr. Joseph Investigator Muscat, with the latter ‘probing’ into matters that go back to 1996/98.

If, as you say, Joseph Cuschieri is in flagrant breach of EU parliament rules, how can he get away with it?
