Ah, now it gets REALLY interesting

The Labour Party club official who walked into the kitchen of the Hal Safi Labour club and found two men “cutting up a white block” (I quote Labour deputy leader Toni Abela’s recorded conversation there) is not only the club president but also the deputy mayor of the Safi council.

His name is Johan Mula and his father is the (now retired) Spettur Bertu Mula (Police Inspector Bartholemeo Mula), who was involved in the frame-up at Hal Safi of Pietru Pawl Busuttil in the Golden Eighties.

For the benefit of my younger readers, Busuttil was framed by the police for the murder of Raymond Caruana, who died when a gang of Labour thugs drove up to the Gudja PN club in 1986 and used a submachine gun to shoot through the door.

The police knew exactly who did it, because they got hold of the weapon, raided Busuttil’s animal farm (taking the submachine gun with them), and ‘found’ it in a pile of hay.

He was then charged with the murder of Raymond Caruana, but it was so obviously a frame-up that the trial collapsed.

In these circumstances, we really can’t be surprised at the way the Labour leaders handled the discovery of somebody cutting up a block of cocaine in a Labour club kitchen.

The instantaneous reaction of Spettur Mula’s son was to have the evidence thrown away. His next reaction was to refuse to go to the police.

Instead he went to Toni Abela for collusion and a cover-up, and got it. The barman, who says he hadn’t a clue what was going on in the kitchen, was sacked.

When he wrote to Joseph Muscat to protest his innocence and argue that he had been fired unfairly, he received a letter back saying that Muscat feels his pain and will have his picture taken with him to show that everything is all right between them.

Muscat did not go to the police either. When pressed about it by journalists, he denied ever knowing about the case and, when the Nationalist Party published the barman’s letter to Muscat and also Muscat’s reply, he was constrained to tell another lie: he had confused this case with another one, of which he knew nothing.

When The Times pressed Muscat yesterday morning for an answer as to why he didn’t go to the police, he said that he didn’t because there was no case: there was no evidence (because it had been removed) and the person who saw what happened refused to testify.

The Times pointed out that it was not for him to decide that there was no case: he should have gone to the police so that they could investigate and decide that for themselves.

Might I add this: no witness to a crime can refuse to cooperate with the police in an investigation. It is a criminal offence and you can end up in the cooler. Toni Abela is a lawyer and he knows that. Muscat almost certainly knows that too.

These lying cheats are no better than their Golden Years predecessors. What next – framing the barman? Instead they fired him. So much for all their talk about the Whistleblower Act.

      Malta taghna lkoll ay?

    • Kurt Mifsud Bonnici says:

      It’s emigrate not immigrate. You cannot immigrate into a country in which you live already.

      Secondly, these kind of threats are really weak. If you’re such a hard-ass then tell us your real name.

      You are going against your “dear” leader’s very wishes. Malta taghna lkoll?

      • manum says:

        Don’t waste time correcting his language because people like that will never understand. Just remember that there are many more where he came from, and that the dormant Labour spectre is waking up again.

      • Lilla says:

        It’s probably Mula himself writing this – he works as an immigration officer at M.I.A so that’s the only way he knows how to write it.

        Taf int, għax dal-gvern qatt ma tah xejn miskin.

        Barra x-xogħol l-airport, tawh l-oportunita jagħmel course l-universita ukoll.

        Veru għandhom għal fejn igergru dawn in-nies, agħmilhom nies dal-gvern.

      Prosit, Fucker, you are really showing us what your kind are made of and what is to be expected should you be in power.

      Oh, really, the clock is ticking? But exactly for whom is it ticking?

        How many millions of tax payer euros have gone each year into educating this sorry excuse of a homo sapiens?

      Dear FUCKER, halli inkellmek bil-Malti ghax tidher li ma tafx tikteb bl-Ingliz. Jien kburi li jiena Malti u nisthi nghid li slavagg bhalhekk huma Maltin ukoll.

      Mur x’imkien iehor u hallina nesprimu l-opinjonijiet taghna hawn fil kwiet.

      Tnx for opening the eyes of those floaters out there who might be thinking it would be wise to vote Labour for a change ‘for the better’.

  2. law says:

    Don’t worry the truth hurts and always won. Keep doing your good work. I admire you for your courage so the truth comes out.

  3. uni student says:

    Finally some pure honest truth. Well done, Daphne, your blog is most certainly interesting and might I add you really got balls to blog all this. Bil-malti pur, tikxfilhom sormom. Cheers daphne!

    Rajtx kif Malta taghna lkoll?!

    Malta taghhom lkoll imisshom jibdew ikantaw.

    • Catsrbest says:

      In fact that is exactly what they are chanting – Malta taghna wkoll not taghna lkoll (probably together with Gozo, EU and the rest of the world).

  5. Min Jaf says:

    Pawlu Busuttil was not only framed. The intention was not to have him brought to trial, but to fake his suicide while in police custody, thereby closing off the case before it came up for hearing.

    Younger readers should also refer to Nardu Debono who was killed during police interrogation, then dumped from the road bridge at Wied ic-Cawli in Hal Qormi in a crude attempt to fake a hit-and-run car accident. The then police commissioner Lawrence Pullicino was eventually tried and sentenced to 14 years jail under the Fenech Adami administration for his role in the murder.

    That part of the plot fell through when Pawlu Busuttil was taken ill on the way to the police headquarters and was taken to St. Luke Hospital. A three-man police squad was detailed to ‘guard’ him. Pawlu’s lawyer, Dr. Guido Demarco, warned Tt stay alert throughout the night and not go to sleep, as he had been told there were plans to kill him.

    Late at night the three policemen entered Pawlu’s 3rd-floor private room and opened the window, the clear intention being to throw him down into the yard below. That plan was only thwarted by Pawlu shouting at the top of his voice “X’qed tghamelu? X’ser tghamlu?” And the timely response by the night nurse who came rushing in.

    Golden Years, indeed.

  6. Neil Dent says:

    He even had the gall to comment on the Times story in which, unbeknown to us at the time, he was one of the main protagonists?

    Hudni. Hudni issa!

    [Daphne – That comment was about the other case, in which Toni Abela said he found a Labour policeman and told him to hold off for now.]

  7. Jar Jar says:

    I have this picture in my mind’s eye of workmen walking away from the ‘Malta Taghna Ilkoll’ slogan with the words ‘ilkoll’ and another two sticking up the word ‘biss’. Can anyone draw it up for me?
