Comments on: They’re only going to prosecute the corrupted and not those who corrupted them

Muscat has no right, duty or any other power vested in him to interfere with investigations into real or suspected crimes. Nor do the police or the AG have the power to decide not to prosecute.

The law is exhaustive on what grounds the AG can say ‘nulle prosequi’. Bribing is a crime against the public and thus the police have to prosecute ex officio.

In reply to ciccio. I would also ask how many of them are Labour Party clubs.

Konrad Mizzi is quoted in Times of Malta today, saying that the government has not seen the list of names of consumers who have stolen electricity.

It has been passed on to police, he said. But he could say that they cut across all strata of society and include commercial and domestic users.

How is it possible to ascertain the characteristics of a group of people if one does not know who they are? Surely Dr Mizzi did not intend any verbal trickery?

Daphne you should also highlight the fact that the Whistleblower Act which the government keeps mentioning is irrelevant to the consumers who bribed Enemalta officials. There’s a good post about it here:

In reply to Angus Black.

Going by those election results, the majority of those cases voted Labour to FURTHER reduce their electricity bills.

And they probably went around before the elections complaining about their electricity bills and that they can’t wait to see Labour in power to REDUCE their electricity bills.

Hilarious. Who exactly was it who used the term “social parasite” recently? Ah, yes…

In reply to Evarist Saliba. Technically this could have serious repercussions on future court rulings and appeals.

In reply to Profs.

Enemalta Corporation is now practically owned by China. If you steal from the Chinese government, you are usually sent to “re-education” camps to be “harmonised”.

Well, what are we waiting for?

It would be very interesting to find out who the ''energy beneficiaries'' are whose faces Joseph Muscat seems so desperate to save.
