The Police Minister is as brazen as his nefarious clients

Published: November 25, 2014 at 12:18am

Manuel Mallia spoke in parliament to justify his own armed escort by saying that the former prime minister and his former personal assistant have armed escorts too. Well, in their case, they actually need them – thanks in no small part to the efforts of the Police Minister himself in tandem with Law Commission member Ramona Frendo.

Perhaps people’s memories need a little jogging at times like this, to show just how utterly brazen Manuel Mallia is to have used those particular examples.

    The defence lawyers themselves just couldn’t believe the ‘Not Guilty’ verdict.

    • Francis Saliba M.D. says:

      That accused was not freed by anything done in that court room. He was freed as a result of an insistent pre-trial vilification campaign in the media to discredit, and to create bias in the eyes of potential jurors, against the crucial key witness for the prosecution who had been granted a predidential pardon.

    Il-bierah Manuel Mallia qal li Guido Demarco kellu skorta armata. Ara vera ma tridx tkun tisthi biex issemi ragel li ikun ghamlek nies u li illum nieqes. Vera arroganti.

    No one needs people like these around them.

    What’s tha expression in Maltese “meta taghmilha maz-zopp tibda zzappap.”

    What does it say about Mallia that he thinks it fine to expose his young daughter to this kind of environment? She may not have witnessed the shooting, but God alone knows what she must have seen, left in a household and in the care of those sorts of people.

    If the minister’s car and the driver were not taken for forensic gun shot residue checks, then the public has a right to know who the person in charge of the investigation, on the scene, was and if he decided to neglect this duty independently or if he was ordered to do so.

    Accepting the shooter’s version over that of the victim is not an option for a memeber of the police force. It that were the case we would need protection FROM the police.

    Someone’s job is on the line here as well. Perhaps minister Mallia can phone his office to get a lawyer for the fall guy? Wasn’t it reported that Sheehan has Azzopardi?

    Or maybe a charge of perverting the course of justice needs to be included somehwere? If the car was cleaned, how about adding destroying of evidence?
