He was lifted high of the shoulders of his friends following this wise verdict.

That was only a “messa in scena” because the EP elections were approaching. Now you will not hear another word about it until another important election is near.

Does anybody remember the small lights following the Tirrenia as it approached Valletta port.

It could have been welcoming parties sent by MTA but I doubt it.

And still illegalities are going on in Caqnu’s continuous development sites.

They left Marsaxlokk in the night some time in December and returned a couple of days later.

They were smart people and anybody who believes that these guys went all the way to Tripoli in a 30ft boat and did not bother to check the stuff that they were buying will believe anything.

The boat was confiscated but was given back to the owners a few days ago. Who knows hbieb tal-hbieb?

Drop your load with a tracking device overboard before coming in to land, second boat picks it up, if you have an informer in your organisation will become pretty obvious once you berth as the boys in blue will be waiting. Only the dumb get caught.

All that bull and helicopters flying low and armed law enforcers and evacuation of MEPA offices. All gone quiet now. This is a bizarre administration.

Mission accomplished.
