I would surmise there is and that Manuel Mallia was in charge of burying it.

No, mm, pressing charges against Dalli wouldn’t be “more democratic” at all, because it is highly totalitarian to press charges when there is no evidence, and moreover when the available evidence indicates that Dalli was unaware of the game behind Ms Kimberley’s meeting.

Errata corrige

And I am NOT going to list….

Apologies.

I am not defending John Dalli, Angus Black. That’s a tall order. He’s way too rich to be decent, for starters.

What I am saying is that the OLAF hypothesis would not stand in court. OLAF investigated the case in more ways than you seem to think, and nothing much was unearthed by the locals. The case against Zammit was sealed. But was Zammit acting as a go-between?

Yes, say his detractors, he must have been. But where’s the evidence? The nexus is spectacularly missing, which is why the prosecution has no case, and also why his enemies on the mainland are now pursuing him over the Bahamas triangulation.

Zammit was clearly acting on his own device, and in the hope of netting millions he was lured and netted like a fly.

Had Zammit communicated with Dalli, the latter would have told him: Int mignun? Ma tarax li din nasba? Mela jien nista nghinhom? Itlaq minn quddiem ghajnejja, ja bugarrun!

No there is no crime of knowing a crime is being planned or has been committed and not attemptinjg to stop or report this crime. In fact I have no knowledge of any person being arraigned on these changes, at least in Malta. The only crime that may be committed in this regard is if a person conspires with other, plans or in some other way aids the offendors.

It is elementary criminal law that there must be both the criminal intention as well an illegal act for guilt. There are some exceptions to failure to report a crime which concern some very serious offences as crimes against the state and, for certain professionals, child abuse and money laundering.

Therefore I think either you have wrong information or a gross miscarriage of justice must have been made. It would be the epitome of absurdity if say I know my neighbour is planning a crime and then I am imprisoned for knowing this fact and not doing anything to stop this crime.

[Daphne – The mistake you make is not to factor in Mr Dalli’s public position, David. You are not speaking here of a neighbour failing to report a theft next door. And in any case, he is directly involved.]

Oops. Wrong. Now promoted to Full Colonel after a whole two weeks as a Lt. Colonel and soon to shoot up to Brigadier. That’s what I call a fast track. We must be the laughing stock of the EU armies.

Err….who said what ?

Everyone knows that John Dalli is not known for his charitable work. Through out his political career there has never been a reference to his charitable heart. On the contrary, during his political career he has been connected to some very serious scandals, dealing in influence and abuse of trust and power. He also framed me in revenge because I reported his involvement in the Daewoo scandal.

Former police Commissioner John Rizzo had plenty of opportunity to investigate him. He failed to do so. I am still expecting John Dalli to be investigated for the false criminal charges he and the police brought against me.

In John Dalli’s Bahamas adventure, which according to him it was worth billions of Euros, there is the infamous Mary Swan, an internationally acclaimed fraudster. What has happened to her? Is she being protected by the Maltese authorities?

The smell of corruption really stinks. Carry On Johnny Cash.

Not that this has any relevance to this post but can you please say something about this.

Has the possibility not occurred to you, Kev, that somebody who has been embroiled in one “frame up” or another all his career is actually, eventually, involved in some muck up?

Even if evidence was “unambiguous pieces of circumstantial” then let the court decide that and not the PM and his stooge. Wouldn’t that be more democratic?

On one thing I agree with you, the tobacco industry was the one who benefited in all this.

But then one would have to agree with Daphne and say that Dalli should have NEVER been appointed to this position, and that somebody more trustworthy should have been sent in his place – somebody who would not have gotten himself embroiled in such cases in all his life, ever.
