Those missing pages have turned up

John Dalli on holiday in Italy with Iosif Galea and Silvio Zammit
The pages that were ‘mysteriously’ missing from Malta Today’s linked upload of the Olaf report on John Dalli have been leaked and published.
And what do you know? They compromise Dalli. My, my, my – who would have guessed that from the fact that they were missing from Malta Today’s link?
Turns out Dalli had a telephone conversation with Silvio ta’ Peppi tal-Mqaret (hekk insibuh, ahna s-Slimizi).
Maybe they were chatting about flower arranging, the best recipe for roasting chicken, and their chum Iosif Galea’s enthralling love life.
Who knows.

THREE AND A HALF hours on the phone, over THREE days.
Silvio Zammit and John Dalli must have been discussing the ban of olive oil in open containers in restaurants.

Those are seconds, not minutes.
Seems that the duration of the phone calls is given in seconds.
That makes it less than three and a half hours.
In fact, what is amazing is that this phone communication, and other phone exchanges referred to in the rest of the report, were too short. What sort of exchanges are made in short, very short, phone calls, of less than one minute?
That’s the way some Maltese people talk over the phone; very quickly. The conversation is over in seconds to avoid spending too much on their mobile bills.
Maybe they were talking about Gayle Kimberley’s potential as a honey-pot.
Dear Mrs. Caruana Galizia,
I am a University of Malta student currently completing my final year of engineering.
The goverment has publicised numerous times the various ‘scholarships’ being offered. The problem is they have the deadline in about a week, during our exams, which is useless.
This means we have to pick a masters title just before exams which involves numerous meetings with supervisors.
I am not sure whether the deadline is so bad due to EU regulations or whether the goverment made a mistake.
I read your article re George Abela giving away Community Chest Fund money to his relative for a masters while we are left to apply during exams and just after dissertations have been handed in, which is ridiculous.
Slycat, that is one way of loading the dice in favour of those lined up in the queue under the PL concept of meritocracy. Forget about university – put your face on a PL billboard.
Mal-Labour tirbah zgur.
Rigali, rigali, rigali ghall kulhadd – just like the 7up commercial .
So this dickhead, Saviour Balzan, imagined that by pulling out two pages of the report, he would save his friend John Dalli.
In my opinion, it made matters worse for JD.
I just cannot wait to see how Saviour Balzan will wriggle out of this one.
I am positive that after this release, John Dalli will set up an appointment with his specialist in Brussels and no doubt he will, once more, be declared too ill to travel back to Malta.
Key information here is the content of the email, dated 6 January 2012, from Dr. Kimberley to Swedish Match, summarising the meeting held with the Commissioner on that date.
The contents of that note contrast with what John Dalli had said when he described that January meeting in a press conference he gave in Brussels on 24 October 2012, and what he had told Musumeci and Cini on Bla Sustanza – the Super Wan program before the elections.
In the course of his press conference, he had said that the ‘young lawyer’ “wanted to gather information about snus” and that he did not know she came from a lobby. He had said that he had explained to her the situation about snus. See from 9′.09” in the link.
In her email, the ‘young lawyer’ said that she understood that the Commissioner was not excluding lifting the ban on snus, provided that a solid case was presented by the industry, and he cited his decision about GMOs. But the lawyer also said that “he basically said that you should repeat what I told him today (I presumed he was convinced by the arguments) and put a strong specific in particular scientific case forward…”
But didn’t the lawyer go there to ask questions and gather information? Why would she make convincing arguments, if she was not a lobbyist?

John Dalli spicca. Naraw x’ser itieh Joseph.
Game set and match; thank you Saviour; thank you Dalli.
The conversations were short and sweet. Politically definitely untenable. As things stand now I doubt whether the police have the inclination to dig deeper.
“Ma min rajtek xebbahtek” says a Maltese proverb.
Mmm “if any commissioner has what it takes to lift the ban it’s this one” is a bit different to “if there’s a commissioner with balls, this is the one”. Inventing quotes not beyond Malta Today?
I hope they lock this guy up.
If John Dalli as an EU Commissioner in Brussels had committed a crime relating to his work or responsibilty, how is it that he is being investigated by the Malta Police and not by the Police in Brussels?
That’s some circumcisional evidence.
Why haven’t TVM news informed us about the missing pages? They deemed it fit to tell us about the leaked report and carried Dissett about it …. but now, why not?
