There were rumblings from the PL at the time of Mid-Med Bank’s sale to HSBC that Johnny Cash had his finger in the pot. Who knows?

This is just incredible. Where’s the ‘press’, so called? Things are just lost, shoved in a shoe box under the bed, for fear of stepping on a toe or two. It’s beyond pitiful.

In reply to Min Jaf. Hoarding money for himself and no spending... He's a true Mintoff copycat, which makes him subconsciously attractive to Labour. That's what they must be defending.

John Dalli does not spend much money on clothes. True.

But I have my doubts whether he forked out some good money before the last election to help Labour in its propaganda to win the election.

I have this suspect because he was awarded a very good position and after all those accusations of corruption the Labour put on him, now they are defending him on a huge corruption case. This is unbelievable.

My mind goes back in 1987 and I imagine what would have the people said had Dr. Fenech Adami as Prime Minister and the Nationalist administration in government awarded a very important position to Lorry Sant and also defended him in the corruption cases he was involved in.

Submitting air tickets for private flights for reimbursement boils down to fraud.

The guy has a big persecution complex but his track record speaks for itself:

Mid med Bank
Mater Dei
AMS
Daewoo
water to whisky
Malta International Airport privatisation
direct orders for air ticket purchases from his daughters’ company
snus and Silvio Zammit

It seems that if he goes down, others will join him either through commission or omission. Hence his leverage on both parties.

Daphne, may I revise this a bit?

There once was a boy named Joey,
Who wished for worldwide fame,
He swam with the sharks,
Thought he had the smarts,
But ended up covered with shame.

It’s great fun reading comments from diehard Labourites on timesofmalta.com. For years they were taught to hate Johnny Cash – now he is the answer to the country’s prayers because of his ‘experience’.

How long until they are brainwashed to hate him again, I wonder?

Did he present the bills for rent of the the Beach View villa at the Bahamas for reimbursement? Perhaps Giovanni Kessler should check.
