In reply to anthony.

It shows, if Dalli said he intends to fight this tooth and nail, he better get himself the best team of lawyers.

Kessler refrained from going further and spell out Dalli’s position to safeguard the role of the attorney general in Malta. Loved his response to Bondi’s circumstantial question, 3:30.

Let’s say Dalli has been ‘rimandato a giudizio’ – that there’s enough grounds to proceed with indictment.

We speculate and conjecture about the presumed remote origin of a bribery attempt indubitably made by Inge Delfosse, Secretary General of ESTOC, In the meantime, the real villains at Swedish Match congratulate themselves about the successful outcome of their intrigue to unseat Malta’s Commissioner because he had been a serious obstacle to their tobacco expansionist plans. They must feel euphoric about the outcome of an excellent hatchet job carried out by OLAF and its director general Giovanni Kessler in collaboration with them, whilst we indulge foolishly in an orgy of back-stabbing!

@interested bystandard. Your comment is not correct. In many airports such as in Asia and Americas there are many cheap cell phones on the market which sell for a few euros. With a local sim card one can accesses the Internet. So for a couple of days one can have a personal telephone number and an IP address.

Both the sim cards and cell phones are cheap so one can easily throw them in the garage after the email is sent.

Law enforcement personnel with access to sophisticated counter-crime technology has had a hard time identifying the person with a particular IP address.

As I listened to this video I just realised how this tyrant of a commissioner has tainted the reputation of our nation.

Shame on you, Mr. Dalli, and shame on those who are backing you.

You are a disgrace to this country of ours, and I hope you will do the right thing by exiling yourself to another country where you have a home.

And may God help that country.

In reply to Helen Cassar. Lewis Carroll would have written a very successful scond novel, if he had visited our rock. Entitled, 'Alice in Blunderland'.

Se nikteb bil-Malti ghax kultant il-Malti ghandu idjomi sbieh. Fittex tasal l-elezzjoni halli l-Partit Nazzjonalista jkun jista’ jitnaddaf ghal kollox mill-hmieg tal-eghnuq li tkahhal bih dal-ahhar hames snin. Jirbhahha u jitlifha…

1. L-ewwel fil-lista ghandna lis-sur John Dalli li ilu gej b’nofs skandli u skandli li, b’xi mod jew iehor, irnexxielu jizgicca minnhom. Fl-ahhar inqabad bl-iskandlu ‘SnusGate’!

2. Imbaghad kellna lil Mugliett li, fl-2007, kien involut fl-iskandlu ‘BridgeGate’.

3. Imbaghad tfacca JPOS bil-‘MistraGate’, lejlet l-elezzjoni fl-2008.

4. U fl-ahhar (u mhux l-inqas, ghax inkella jaqbez 4 pulzieri mill-art u jaqbad isabbat saqajh) ghandna lil Franco Debono, li l-unika Gate li haqqu hija ta’ Frankuni (pun intended!!).

L-elezzjoni li gejja tghalqilhom il-foss ta’ halqhom, kollha kemm huma, darba ghal dejjem… forsi ma nisimghux iktar b’ahbarhom! Ghax, kif jidher, issa anke tal-Labour, se jlaqqghu kungress bil-mohbi u b’mod urgenti u jnizzluhom minn fuq il-karru (jew ahjar… jergghu jixkupawhom ‘il barra mill-iskip)… jekk fadlilhom ftit melh f’mohhhom (li ghandi d-dubji serji tieghi!).
