Who else would be happy or willing to consort with him?

Criminals are tenacious, anyone wanting to stay on the straight and narrow knows that there is no keeping a criminal at arm’s length. Making money from criminals has a price, entering that world is a choice which not everyone is willing to make.

In reply to tinnat. How else would he have all that cash to stash?

In reply to makjavel. Too simple. Protection? Fear? "I owe you" principle?

Mallia has actually given us his new rules: commit criminal acts as long as you throw in a couple of ‘heroic’ acts such as putting out a fire. Your crimes will then be overlooked.

That is why revenge porn and chasing married men to have a child with is OK then, who needs morals and ethics when one can have the Mallia credo?

One wonders if this is the same reasoning the government is using to scrutinise ‘talent’ for citizenship purchase applications.

Corruption here, trafficking there, meddling and conniving but contributing to charity, so that’s all right then.

Have they found this glass bottle yet? Or are they still trying to get Stephen Smith’s fingerprints on it?

‘The minister refused to specify when asked, whether the constable had been actually suspended from his job as a policeman or just from escort duties.’

What did Mallia tweet about who helps and protects who?

In reply to Josette. The driver has been suspended from his duties as Manuel Mallia's driver. No word on whether he has been suspended from the police force. Now they can find him a job at Dar Malta, guarding Cyrus and Randolph.

Maybe Manuel Mallia is driving around with large amounts of cash on him, and needs protection by a man with a gun.

Good work by The Malta Independent.

Now it just needs to sort out that ‘hit-and-run’ business. And fast. Just when people had started flocking to it instead of Times of Malta, it botches up a story in such an awful manner.

This is ridiculous. A police officer not in uniform and off duty pulls out a gun and fires shots in a residential street.

This is insane!

This clearly shows that he obviously feels that he has the right to behave like because of the culture he is picking up from his superiors.

Many months ago I described the cabinet of Malta as the characters from the Godfather film. Manuel Mallia is Clemenza.

If this was a civilised country like the UK, where I live, this guy would be under arrest immediately. Instead they have arrested his victim. A body like a Police Complaints Committee would be appointed to investigate the incident.

When will people wake up in Malta? Everyday that passes their country is destroying the professional image that the Nationalist governments worked extremely hard in building over the last two decades, and these bad clowns are destroying it overnight.
