And why did they not put it in the electoral manifesto?  It would have looked really nice, especially because a 70% discount is not a joke.

Reduced bureaucracy: 25%

Reduced water bills: 5%

Reduced electricity: 25%

Reduced price per Maltese passport: 70%]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As was to be expected, the Russians are being defrauded.  

I think this is some misleading propaganda leading the Russians to believe that the standard price per passport is euro 650,000 whether one is a principal applicant, or a spouse, or a child of the principal applicant, and therefore the price of euro 185,000 is a discounted price.

It is even worse if the advert is trying to lure the Russians by making them believe that the total of 5 passports comes to euro 185,000, whereas in fact it probably refers to the average cost per passport.

Even if this is the average price per passport, it is still overstated and someone is deceiving the Russians.

Let&#039;s do some maths.

1 principal applicant: euro 650,000. Check.

1 wife: euro 25,000.  Check.

3 children: euro 75,000, at euro 25,000 each.  Check.

Henley &#038; Partners fees: principal applicant euro 70,000 + spouse euro 15,000 + 3 children total euro 30,000. Total fees euro 115,000. Check.

Henley &#038; Partners due diligence costs: principal applicant euro 7,500 + spouse euro 5,000 + 3 children total euro 9,000. Total due diligence costs euro 21,500. Check.

Total bill to be paid: euro 886,500.  Cheque.

Total family size: 5. Check.

Average price per member of the family: euro 177,300. Check.
