The Minister of the Interior said he will confirm the due diligence on applicants, but Mallia’s credibility is at an all-time low with his eight-month record on dealings with the Police, Army, broadcasting and basic human rights.

My other concern relates to the total absence of a requirement to invest in Malta or even to live here when buying citizenship.

All told, the scheme appears to be targeted at satisfying the demands of individuals of dubious background, who may have struck pre election deals with the PL.

Of course this government’s bosses really know what they are doing. That is why they are doing it.

The tragedy is that so many shafted shifters had not anticipated it and that the traditional blinkered followers of the “new movement” will not realise its full implications until it hits them also between the eyes.

And the remedy may be all of five years along the line

My nightmare, young fellow.

I hope your dream comes true.

Frogs are lucky creatures, they get to eat what bugs them.

There are some elements which make it extremely prone to fraud.

1. The identity of buyers of Maltese passports will not be made public.
2. Passport buyers are not required to live or have an address in Malta.
3. Passports will be sold to individuals and, if they choose so, to members of their family.
4. The prices of passports varies, and it does so very significantly. The principal applicant pays euro 650,000. Additional family members can pay euro 25,000.

Therefore, unless detail is available, the government can hide a lot of information, including:

– By publishing total figures for amounts collected, it can be very difficult to quantify the exact number of passports issued. This issue becomes more significant on a cumulative basis after some years.

– By publishing the same total figures, the government can hide sums derived from other sources, and fictitious passports can be issued if need be to cover those sources.

Before it was really difficult to obtain a simple residential permit and now it has come so easy to become a Maltese citizen as a person only requires the green light by Manuel Mallia an ex criminal lawyer.

If you are prepared to pay one million euros for a phoney and highly suspect false Maltese passport then you must be in deep shit.

All of us, present Maltese citizens have right to know who the new citizens are. Don’t they want to know?
