Hey there, Codruta’s husband: you have a friend in China

cash at home

Such a remarkable resemblance, wouldn't you say

Such a remarkable resemblance, wouldn’t you say

Our police minister has been eclipsed. A state official in China has been caught with $33 million in cash at home.

Investigators used 16 counting-machines to get through the notes, four of which broke down under stress.

Codruta’s husband’s half a million euros in cash, stashed in the safe at their Hastings nest, pale by comparison.

He must be furious. Look at him fuming here in the grass.

    Actually… the toad is quite cute.

    Daphne, the $33 million were verified by a manual count. Are you sure Mallia had just €500k stashed in his palace?

    I guess nobody will ever know.

    • ciccio says:

      Correct. Did any investigator ever count Mallia’s money?

      And then there was the other issue which arose during the Parliamentary debate on the sale of Maltese passports. It was not clear if Mallia can read correctly numbers ending with many zeroes, so I am still in doubt whether Mallia’s hoard consisted of Eur 500,000, Eur 500 million, Eur 500 billion or Eur 500 trillion.

    The 500k would have multiplied a few times over by now I’d think.

    There it is: Black on white by the BBC.

    For those who thought the “evil nationalists and bloggers” were exaggerating.

    I think they all need to sit down and spend some time pouring over a dictionary instead of their money-boxes.

    Toads can jump, but I wonder whether our police minister can lift himself 1mm off the ground.

    The $s were made in the USA but the counting machines were Made in (Commie) China

    Police Minister undermines the Police Force through unprecedented interference in its structure:
