					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2012/10/so-now-maltas-obligation-to-cooperate-with-olaf-is-some-kind-of-secret-plot-against-the-investigated/#comment-452007&quot;&gt;mandango70&lt;/a&gt;.

Now what if the Attorney general finds no trace of wrongdoing in John Dalli&#039;s actions, what will Daphne say ? Simple. That the Attorney General is an accomplice of John Dalli, perhaps ?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Dear God, Mr Privitera, you are so very slow. I am the very one who&#039;s been patiently trying to explain the people the difference between a resignation matter and a criminal offence. The AG deals in criminal offences, not resignation matters. We have been told already that OLAF found no evidence of criminal behaviour re John Dalli. The report went to the AG because of Silvio Zammit NOT Dalli.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

Now that we know, it&#039;s not as if the opposition has come out in force asking for his head has it? 

So sorry Mandango, but your cheap tacks are so Joseph&#039;s. 

What you should ask is how come since Joseph came onto the scene his whole blurred thingy&#039;s done away with constitutional roles and obligations?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;OLAF found out that Dalli knew about Zammit’s offer to the Swedes of ‘change the law for 60 million euros’.&quot;

Are we sure that OLAF mentioned the amount? I was going to ask this question. It was stated that OLAF gave Dalli details about the investigation and so I presume they mentioned the sixty million.

However, in one of the early interviews he gave to TVM, Dalli said that he knew about the amount through an sms he received earlier, before the said interview. What is the truth?]]></description>

If Dalli didn&#039;t know then his lawyers should be all over Zammit like a bad rash.

Why are the press not hounding Zammit?

Is it because they don&#039;t believe Dalli?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Daphne, I agree when you say &quot;He is obviously under instruction by Dalli himself not to speak to the press&quot;.  

I would go further.  How much has Zammit&#039;s silence been bought for?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Another question worth addressing would be, why did both John Dalli and Lawrence Gonzi keep all of Malta in the dark that an investigation on Malta&#039;s Commissioner was underway.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - John Dalli for obvious reasons, and the prime minister because procedure prevents it.]&lt;/strong&gt;

Both of them knew, and both thought fit for their own different reasons, to keep the Maltese in complete darkness, as if it were not in our interest to know about this fact.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[After today&#039;s interview, we learn that Barroso, Olaf, the tobacco industry and the maltese press all worked to bring down Dalli. Included in these horrible people is GonziPN. 

So we had Dr. Gonzi giving Dalli the best paid job that a Maltese person could ever dream of and of course this was tied to getting him out of the way.

The question therefore arises why the f**k did Dr. Gonzi now work against Dalli to screw up his job and bring him back to Malta?

That&#039;s Dalli conspiratorial logic for you.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Times interview today has Dalli saying that he met with Zammit AFTER OLAF confronted Dalli in July.

Prior to this, Dalli&#039;s stance, as I recall, was that &quot;after the 6th January&quot; he never spoke to Zammit about the matter.

But Dalli now says he spoke to Zammit to &quot;see what the hell was happening&quot;. And he then informed OLAF about this meeting. 

Confused am I.]]></description>
