So far they have been:

1. prohibited from being in possession of their smartphones when being in the exalted presence of a onetime village doctor;

2. penned up in an enclosure, to look up at an ex colleague whose claim to fame was his heckling of the best PM Malta had;

3. laughed at and heckled by a person, whose name has been dragged through the mud by various foreign media and organizations, and his family, after being invited to that family’s office for a press briefing.

It seems that there are many other things that must come to light.

Mr. Dalli wanted Malta to buy the Sargas power station, but at the same time he went to the Bahamas to discuss the sale of a different “innovative electricity generator that was cheap to produce and very cheap to run.”

It goes like this:

“The most important men in town would come to fawn on me!
They would ask me to advise them,
Like a Solomon the wise.
“If you please, Reb Tevye…”
“Pardon me, Reb Tevye…”
Posing problems that would cross a rabbi’s eyes!
And it won’t make one bit of difference if I answer right or wrong.

WHEN YOU’RE RICH, THEY THINK YOU REALLY KNOW !”

Mr Dalli’s family think they really know because they’re rich and ‘have power’.

See 2.25 in the video here.
