John Dalli travelled to Italy with Silvio Zammit and Iosif Galea

Published: October 28, 2012 at 3:51pm

This photograph was taken in Italy. Of course, Silvio Zammit and his business associate at the Lotteries & Gaming Authority, Iosif Galea, could have bumped into EU Commissioner John Dalli entirely by chance in some Italian village.

“Ara, Johnny!”

“Eeee, x’minnek Silvio!”

“U Iosif ukoll! Ara x’kumbinazzjoni!”

“Ara x’tlett assassini hawn!”

    The 60 million euro question is: who took the photo? It’s not likely to have been Barroso.

    [Daphne – Mrs Zammit is shown in another picture, with her husband, taken in Rome, which was uploaded at the same time as this one.]

    Wine tasting perhaps? Fashionable these days.

    Tghidux hekk ghax tibqalhom.

    Perhaps the three of them went to Italy to find a circus for Malta.

    When J Dalli BA met Silvio in Caltanisetta.

    “Silvio hawn missna nifthu gabbana tal-imqaret.”

    “Mill-imqaret ma taghmilx il-miljuni. Ara ghandekx xi idea ohra ftit aktar sofistikata.”

    If that photograph was truly taken in Caltanisetta, the irony of the situation cannot be stressed enough. Caltanisetta was the place where Giovanni Kessler cut his teeth as as an anti-Mafia Magistrate some years before being posted to OLAF.

    [Daphne – That was a joke.]

    Ejja ħa nieħdu ritratt għax ilna ma niltaqgħu.

  8. Steve Forster says:

    Had Ex- Commish Dalli been to a funeral dressed in that garb?

  9. Angus Black says:

    What a coincidence!

    They bumped into each other in an elevator, as luck would have it.

    Donnu rabba zaqq Johnny u gie parigg Silvio.

    The joys of Facebook. That photo looks cropped.

  12. Roundhead says:

    Shame on you. You deleted the halos from around their heads

  13. Chris Ripard says:

    Bloody amazing: Dalli first meets Bastjan hitch-hiking in Libya, then Sivio and Iosif in Italy . . .

    Kemm gejna sbieh.

    Really BAD how people from the LGA are active privately. Nobody sees here a conflict of interest?

    Why is GonziPN not acting on such people? Why the is “young female lawyer” still there? Why is Iosif Galea still there?

    The fish stinks always from the head and if the head allows people from important authorities to offer their consultancy to private companies than the head covers this form of corruption!

    Looks like we are going 30 years back in time with this “Leader”

    It is pretty shocking that he does not see and does not want to acknowledge that he will lose the next election because he puts off his own people from voting.

    Extract from OLAF report – John Dalli’s second interview –

    Q. Do you know a certain Iosif Galea from the Lotteries and Gaming Authority ?

    A. No. I do not recall such a person.
