And this, if you please, is Labour Party guru Alfred Mifsud’s very own brother
Tarcisio Mifsud, who took regularly large bribes as Enemalta’s head of finance. He is Labour Party guru Alfred Mifsud’s brother.
Corrupt Enemalta official Tarcisio Mifsud sitting next to Joseph Muscat, then leader of the Opposition, at a Labour Party event during the election campaign. His brother Alfred Mifsud gave Muscat the only job he ever held in the private sector, at Crystal Finance.
From Times of Malta’s report about the Public Accounts Committee inquiry before which corrupt businessman George Farrugia is currently testifying:
Mr Farrugia said he knew that Tarcisio Mifsud, who was then Enemalta’s head of finance, was involved when Mr Mallia was in hospital in 2000 or 2001. He had gone to see Mr Mallia and he had told him to go to speak to Mr Mifsud who told him that he had to pay him whatever he used to pay Mr Mallia because they used to split.
He said he used to call him and he used to go to his office to pass on the money.
He remembered one particular time when he called him had he gave him Lm3,000 and Mr Mifsud told his he had no chance of winning the next tender.
Tarcisio Mifsud is Alfred Mifsud’s brother. Alfred Mifsud is one of the Labour Party’s most influential gurus right now because he’s the one who gave the current prime minister the only private sector job he ever held: at his company Crystal Finance, where he advised poor sods on how to invest their money.
Another thing: should the Law Commissioner and Chief of Constitutional Reform have taken up George Farrugia’s brief? He’s sitting there at the PAC hearing as Farrugia’s legal counsel.
When Farrugia said that he might have given Tonio Fenech a clock but he gave the Labour Party a car, Franco Debono shifted around as though a cactus had suddenly sprung up through his seat. It’s so obvious that he knew about that car all along, even while he was helping the Labour Party create all that propaganda about the clock.
These are the men of integrity we have running our lives. Should a man who completely lacks integrity be Malta’s Law Commissioner? Of course not. But then look who we have made prime minister.

I think that’s a wig he’s wearing.
[Daphne – Well, yes. He doesn’t try to hide the fact. He was beaten over the head with chains when he answered the door at home to some men he knew, when he had already removed his wig – some protection racket or bribery deal gone wrong – and then tried to play the victim by releasing photographs of his scalp covered in weals. The talk of the town wasn’t so much the assault – it was obviously something linked to his corruption – so much as how weird it was that a man would treat a wig like a hat.]
Obviously a hat is either Stricklandjan or Nazzjonalist or simply too flamboyant.
Does he also have a pony tail?
Strange connections. I wonder how much further this corruption bleeds…
Through the family veins?
Is this him?

Yes.
Beyond the unbelievable sleaziness of it all, it brings home in all its horror something we should have known long ago: that the common good is the very last item on the demimonde’s agenda, if at all. Twenty-five years of PN, fifty years of independence, and Maltese politics is as dirty as ever.
You’ve got to love that Johnny Cash look. Very appropriate in his case.
He looks like a seasoned cajun shrimp fisherman down on the bayou with that mop top.
And Maltatoday will insist on carrying that photo, third day now.
Nice on Saviour, I came across you once, as you scurried out of Caqnu’s hotel, so what?
There is Konrad Mizzi in the photo. Where is he? We haven’t heard anything from him or about him for some time now.
Tarcisio Mifsud is known to own the best wig on the island.
Correction Daphne: These are the men of integrity who are ruining, not running, our lives.
They used to and still do. How could ever Dr. Gonzi win the election withball this going on behind the scenes. Although he still managed to keep our beloved country steady for the benefit of us all.
Is there any doubt where he went for financial advice on how to invest his dirty money? Apart from anything else is this not money laundering? Will there ever be justice or will these crooks get away to enjoy a very comfortable retirement with their ill gotten gains?
This is getting more interesting by the day. Labour being exposed as the hypocrites that they are.
And to think they used to pontificate about ‘l-oqbra mbajda’. Some cheek.
Years before he graduated to huge commissions on oil deals, Tarcisio Mifsud was the man to bribe if you wanted a new electricity supply for your house, during the Golden Years.
Hundreds of people could testify to this but choose to consider it as normal procedure – such was the sleaze in the country, for those Dark Ages.
I always felt and knew that we live in a most corrupt country. Malta is small and everybody talks.
Everything stinks here from the top to the lowest bottom – but of course the top have all the cream.
Rarely has anybody high up in politics in Malta been punished. These corrupt people will all walk Scot free.
Who do they think they are kidding with this farce? How can the next ones in line in the future go free also?
That’s a very interesting point you made. So I went and had a look, and I found that the highest-ranking personage ever to be punished for anything was Sandro Schembri Adami, a mere MP.
All the rest are walking free and living it up. And rising up the ranks. What a stinking, rotten country.
