I do not quite understand why Tony Debono suggests that Christiane Amanpour and CNN would have been interested to know about whether Total or Totsa should have been dealing with Power Plan or with Aikon. This is purely a private issue between the two companies, and a person with the experience of Tony Debono, sitting as he was on the board of directors, assisted by a top criminal lawyer like Dr. Emmanuel Mallia, “bir-rispett kollu,” would have had no difficulty understanding this.

Why would CNN be interested if Total colluded with Farrugia, or if Farrugia deceived Total by telling them that he represented both Power Plan and Aikon?

And why should Total have believed Tony Debono about the criminal allegations he made about George Farrugia, if Tony Debono, assisted by Dr. Emmanuel Mallia, only privately threatened, but did not have the courage to take criminal action against George Farrugia and therefore never obtained a court sentence declaring George Farrugia guilty?

There surely was something more spicy that Tony Debono wanted CNN and Christiane Amanpour to know about. Like allegations of corruption, perhaps?

The only news value I can see there is how Tony Debono would have looked stupid in front of the global cable network.

If Tony Debono claims that he and the Farrugia brothers – who were advised by Dr. Emmanuel Mallia – had an issue with Total, can he publish any legal correspondence between Dr. Mallia and Total in this sense? Maybe there are some more ‘blackmailing’ letters we have not seen? I don’t think so.

It is rumoured that when Amanpour and her husband James Rubin, the former assistant secretary of state, were told that the semi literate Debono was threatening to phone her up they were hospitalized because of an uncontrollable fit of laughter that lasted for more than twentyfour hours.

If I were him I would go to rest and enjoy the pension lest anything would boomerang on him coming from a shady past. There is much to be said and written.

In reply to La Redoute. They're all gagging to hear from him. Don't you know Malta is the precise centre of the entire Universe? All hail Sauron.

It is of no surprise that this guy came out now and is spilling the beans. Why not before? Why not when Farrugia was granted the Presidential pardon? Why so vociferous now and not then? We all know the answer.
