Edgar Bonnici Cachia, who is helping the anonymous woman making a case against Charles Fenech, the Dominican friar she accuses of exploiting her sexually and emotionally when she was vulnerable and mentally ill, has a criminal conviction himself – confirmed on appeal four years ago – for defrauding and exploiting a vulnerable old woman.

      Things are getting worse, because the majority thought they would be better under Labour, but in fact they are worse.

      This week the BBC reported about a similar situation in France, where it predicted the risk of civil strife.

      I had linked this here before.

        And what is worse is the fact that the majority still idolizes the PL.

        Believe me, many are still over the moon because the electricity rates have gone down. One just can’t knock sense into such people. They sure are in a class of their own.

    Could it be that this woman is being abused now?

    He campaigned for PL candidate Lino Bianco during the last MEP elections.

    May I remind you that Edgar Bonnici Cachia was a candidate for PL.

    Perhaps the six-figure sum was demanded by the injured party assisted by Edgar Bonnici Cachia, to maintain silence, rather than offered by the “offending party”?

    The sooner everyone appears in court the better.

    And who sent that mule with a 6 digit amount of dosh? Did the mule take a cut?

    I think the pic of Edgar Bonnici Cachia with Vanni Xuereb next to him was taken during one of the many summer discussions organized by MEUSAC.

    Bonnici Cachia was also involved in a spat with a priest when a religious TV station went bust a few weeks after its inception.
