Man helping woman in priest case was jailed and deported from Egypt in 1985 alleged Libyan murder plot
Edgar Bonnici Cachia, the former Malta Labour Party candidate who is advising the unnamed woman in the ongoing ‘priest abuse’ case, was jailed in Egypt in 1984 and deported from that country in 1985 along with another Maltese, Romeo Schembri, and two British mercenaries who allegedly had been commissioned to kill an ex Libyan prime minister and Gaddafi opponent who was living there.
The assassination was scheduled to take place on 16 November 1984 but was discovered ahead of time.
When the Britons were flown back to their country after being deported, they were met on arrival by the British police and taken into custody.
Bonnici Cachia and Schembri flew back to Malta where they had no such problems, as Muammar Gaddafi was a friend and financier of the ruling Labour regime.
Besides, Bonnici Cachia had been a candidate for the Malta Labour Party in the 1981 general election, three years before his alleged involvement in the conspiracy to kill Gaddafi’s opponent in Egypt.
The Associated Press reported on 12 May 1985 (full report in link below):
One of two Britons arrested in Egypt for allegedly plotting to kill an opponent of Libyan leader Col. Moammar Khadafy returned to Britain Sunday and was immediately arrested.
Anthony Gill, 48, from Colchester, was seized by police when the plane bringing him from Egypt landed at London’s Heathrow Airport, a Scotland Yard press officer said.
Gill and another Briton, Godfrey Shiner, were arrested along with two Maltese in Egypt last November and accused of plotting to kill former Libyan Prime Minister Abdel-Hamid Bakoush. Egyptian authorities announced last month that the four men would be expelled, and the Maltese flew to Malta from Cairo on Friday.
Shiner, 47, is scheduled to return to Britain Monday.
Egyptian officials said the plan to kill Bakoush, who has lived in Egypt since 1978, was discovered by intelligence agents before it could be carried out.
In a move designed to embarrass Khadafy, the Egyptian agents sent faked photographs to Libya showing Bakoush lying in a pool of blood. Libya quickly announced he had been ”exterminated,” and Egyptian authorities then produced him unharmed at a news conference.
The Maltese jailed and then expelled were Romeo Schembri, 50, and Edgar Bonnici Cachia, 34.

Is it a coincidence that all these people are surfacing?

There is something not quite right in the alleged ‘abuse’ by the Dominican friar.
..and he has the gall to say he is not for sale?
Interesting, there must be more to this, similar to the factory slaves.
An ex-con and an ex-MLP candidate negotiating a six-littlefigure sum with a priest-.fraud who campaigns for the MLP and who is extremely friendly with criminals and prison convicts. Something tells me that the poor woman was never going to receive one cent of that money.
It is time to scrutinize the activities and funds of Mid-Dlam Ghad-Dawl. Is this organization one of the beneficiaries of l-Istrina?
All these discoveries are now becoming so frequent that we are forgetting very serious issues. The Chinese slave market, for example. We are still waiting for answers.

Romeo Schembri is Gregory Schembri’s brother. Gori Schembri was part of Lorry Sant’s inner group which included Piju Camilleri, il-Lay Lay and the late Joe Pace.
Edgar Bonnici Cachia bears a passing resemblance to French novelist and playwright Honoré de Balzac.
