“The Police Commissioner always starts off from the point where he has to cover up whatever Silvio Scerri does” – Jason Azzopardi

Opposition spokesman Jason Azzopardi spoke in response to the Police Commissioner’s accusations today – as reported in Times of Malta:
Dr Azzopardi said it was clear that the Commissioner always started from the point that he had to cover up whatever the Home Affairs Minister’s chief of staff Silvio Scerri did. So the goalposts were moved whenever Mr Scerri was caught out.
This made it more clear than ever before that the Prime Minister had appointed an incompetent Commissioner who was just a partisan tool in the Government’s hand. The commissioner, he said, should stop humiliating himself and the police force.

This is what it’s about:

I must admit that when I saw that clip of the police commissioner speaking to the press in the aftermath of the Norman Vella case, I really pitied him.
How can anyone stoop so low?
What has Mallia offered him, his life?
Does he know anything about him that we are oblivious to?
A billion euros from his piggy bank at his house?
I, personally, would rather die than be dragged to such depths of humiliation.
This is the Press release issued by Jason Azzopardi as carried in maltarightnow.com:

In the case of Silvio Scerri, who is he, actually, that Manwel Mallia has no reining-in power over him?
This is what happens when the Minister in charge of the Police Commissioner is a former criminal lawyer.
The doctrine of proving something beyond reasonable doubt may apply in the criminal courts, but it does not apply in politics.
