Look up Mettlach on Google maps and zoom in to see its size. Did you even know it existed?]]></description>

How&#039;d Dalli know about an obscure doctor in a tiny town in the middle of Germany&#039;s nowhere? More to the point, why&#039;d he decide to fake a certificate in that particular doctor&#039;s name?

Maybe Mary Swann/Myrna Klein/Marie Eloise Corbin/ Eloisa Chihan or whatever she calls herself now, could explain.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Former disgraced EU Commissioner John Dalli confirms that during Eddie Fenech Adami’s tenure he was in a position to influence and control the press. By his own admission he must have covered up a lot of the allegations made against him and his involvement in the Daewoo scandal. 

There are also the allegations I have been making against and his involvement in the anonymous letters scandal. I still maintain that it was John Dalli who organised the anonymous letters claiming to defame him.  I was acquitted of all the charges that he and the police brought against me. On many occasions I asked the police to investigate my allegations against John Dalli but my requests were ignored.

We now come to his Bahamas trips. Of course there is also the Singapore and Dubai connection. In July 2012 his daughter Claire rented a very expensive ocean front villa in Nassau for US$8, 000 per month. That’s a total of US$96, 000 all paid by one of Dalli’s companies, Tyre Ltd. 

Allegedly he and his daughter Louise visited Nassau in August 2012. He flew from London to Nassau using a regular Maltese passport. He had a meeting with some Bahamian officials with the intention of setting up an off shore account. Allegedly the sums discussed were US$100 million. This was to be transferred from Dubai and then Chase Bank NYC. For some reason the transfer did not happen.

In early September 2012, while on EU business in Cyprus, Dalli rented a private jet and slipped away to Nassau with international fraudster Emma Corbin aka Mary Swan, Lady Bird etc. He returned with his group back to Malta via Iceland (EU entry point, no stop in USA, jet refuelled in Halifax, Nova Scotia). He must have then known that his game was up and was aware in early September that he was being investigated by OLAF.

However, the rent on the Bahamas property was not paid. After threats of legal action against his daughter Claire through the Maltese courts by the Bahamas property owner, all the rent under contract was promptly paid in full in February 2013.

When his Bahamas trips became public knowledge, Dalli claimed that he had rented the villa and hired the private jet to conduct charity work. Everybody knows that Dalli is not famous for his charitable works. The name of the charity has never been revealed and neither has any charity come forward in his defence to back up his claims. Why would he spend so much of his own money on renting a property and hiring a private jet which must have cost overall more than $200,000?
It is also strange that the international fraudster Emma Corbin aka Mary Swan, Lady Bird etc, who returned to Malta with Dalli, most probably using a false passport, was living in Gzira and nothing has been heard about her any more. The question is why and who is protecting this international known criminal?

I still maintain that John Dalli is the most corrupt politician in Maltese history.
