Comments on: George Farrugia’s brothers should have been prosecuted but were not. Is it because the Police Minister is their lawyer?

This should have been the main story on every newspaper but it is too much to expect on this ‘art helwa’.

Note also that their lawyer only knew about the misappropriation of funds and not of the kickbacks.

Didn’t the Farrugia brothers check where their revenue was coming from? How can you conclude that you are owed x amount without knowing from which transactions?

Mela kemm kienet isbah din.

Nigi msejjah biex nghin kollega fuq kaz serju u difficli. Korruzzjoni fid-Dipartiment tat-Trade, l-ghoti tal-licenzji tal-importazzjoni.

F`anqas minn erba u ghoxrin siegha insolvu il-kaz, nikkonfiskaw eluf kbar ta liri, u ser nibdew niehdu l-istatements. Il-kriminal jinzel gharkubbtejh jibki ma’ saqajn il-kollega tieghi u jghidlu biex jehodlu l-istatement hu.

Il-kollega isaqsih ghaliex, ghax ahna ufficjali tal-pulizija bhal xulxin. Il-kriminal jghid lil kollega tieghi li jekk jinterrogah hu jaghmillu statement, jaghmilulu bil-affidavit.

Il-kollega jghidlu li jien pulizija bhalu. Il-kriminal iwiegeb li jekk il-kollega jehodlu l-istatement hu, jibqalu cans wiehed u jiehdu.

Jekk l-istatement niehdu jien u nqabbadlu siequ tal-ghatba tal-qorti hadd ma johorgu minn hemm.

Il-kollega imur ghand il-kummissarju jaghtih ir-rapport fejn konna wasalna. F’anqas minn erba u ghoxrin sekonda l-kummisarju jibghat ghalija, jghidli li issa l-kollega ma kellux bzonn aktar l-ghajnuna tieghi u li jien kelli immur inkompli fuq xogholi.

Hekk gara, il-kriminal u l-kaz mietu fuq ommhom kif jghid il-Malti u ma gara xejn avolja kien hemm Ministru imdahhal, imsemmi fil-kaz li bla dubju kien korrott.

Anke l-Ministru miet fuq ommu, kif jghid il-Malti.

What about the Tax Compliance Unit – or is the government scheme intended to cover them?

When will Malta ever be true to itself and admit that the country is a mafia-state (or, for precision’s sake, Camorra state).

Malta Today misleads with its headlines, whilst the Times of Malta online does not even mention the inspectors intention and advice for the four brothers to be prosecuted. Wonder why. Hands tied.

And people talk of sustained attacks on the Times of Malta.

Who was the lawyer of the Farrugia brothers back then?

In reply to ken il malti. Unlike the priest, he does not resemble his brother the fake prime minister. Heightwise kolla fl-istess keffa u l-obesita mhix nieqsa fit-tlieta.

Very sleek new look for your blog. I like the page numbers which makes it easier to navigate though articles, however I am missing a next and previous button.

It’s annoying when you are catching up with articles from say from page 2 and you have to go back to main page, then to the previous page just to read the next post.

It’s true one can use the back button from the browser, but it’s more organic if you can move to the next post from within the page. Other than that, keep up the the good job; you are doing a valuable service for the country. Thank you.

After all the fuss the MLP made over one presidential pardon to George Farrugia, they grant unnecessary and unofficial pardons to all four brothers.

Il-vera Taghna Lkoll.
