Both he and his son were arrested. I know of many other cases as well that I would gladly post if need be.

And no there is not 300,000 Maltese in Canada.

So this guy happened to be Maltese – so what, if found guilty he will be fired and possibly face jail time unlike murderers in Malta who get bail etc etc.

We have over 300,000 Maltese who live in Canada and you hardly hear about any big issues in the papers with regards to them.

I guess you needed to fill up your page with an article that tickles a little bit. A sort of a little filler on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Entirely with you.

When they’re also not busy serving Middle Eastern dishes giving the totally wrong impression of what Malta’s flavour is all about.

Maltese embassies should keep contact and organise activites for Maltese. Pastizzi, chinotti and Mass should not make anyone a criminal.

Such crimes are committed by people of all nationalities in all countries. Besides many prisoners in our prison, I think around half of them, are foreigners.

I can reel off any number of daily examples of similar uneducated or criminal behaviour from persons of other nationalities, including Europe and North America, which seem to be held as the paragons that we should emulate. At the same time I do not claim that we are any better than the rest of humanity, and I do not hesitate to criticise faults when I see them.

Mela skuzani. I should have said: ……because just two persons out of thousands….

He was not arrested alone. His son works there as well and he too was arrested for theft.

His son was one of the others arrested. Prior to retiring (at age 55 a month before the arrest) the father had made over 100k a year in income as disclosed publicly for all government workers making more than 100k a year.
