The Police Minister’s driver is addicted to Red Bull – up to 24 cans a day
Now we know why the Police Minister’s head of secretariat, Silvio Scerri, rang the newspapers on Wednesday night to say that his boss’s driver had fired warning shots “in the air”.
Because Red Bull has given Paul Sheehan wings.
Several sources from Gzira have informed me, separately, that Manuel Mallia’s armed driver has a massive addiction to Red Bull, the caffeine-based ‘energy’ drink.
“He buys boxes of the stuff and drinks around 24 a day,” one told me. Another said, “This guy drinks around 15 Red Bulls a day and it’s an open secret in Gzira that he is always hyper and in an agitated state. He walks into shops around Gzira and buys four Red Bulls at a time and drinks them on the spot in a matter of minutes.”

No wonder the guy is a burst-a-blood-vessel mess of aggressive tension.

Once again, this is not about Paul Sheehan drinking one or two dozen cans of Red Bull a day.
Manuel Mallia spends all day every other day with this guy so he absolutely has to know that we have a hyped-up man addicted to stimulant drinks driving around Malta’s nerve-wracking streets wielding a gun.
It doesn’t matter if he actually sees him drinking the stuff or not. The signs of way too much caffeine/artificial stimulation can’t be hidden. Paul Sheehan’s Gzira neighbours know, so Mallia must have noticed too.
Mallia can try and pass the buck on background checks to the Police all he likes, but he can’t get out of the fact that he allowed this danger to society to go on.
A real background check would have revealed this addiction.
At that rate he won’t be with us much longer guaranteed
Ahjar addicted fuq Redbull biss.
Not doing badly for a driver, 15 to 24 cans a day, plenty of overtime it seems.
Fifteen “Red Bulls” a day to drive around and bodyguard one very massive red bull from across Marsamxett Harbour?
I hear helps with the festival of Balluta Our Lady of Mount Carmel
You didn’t expect him to go for Blue Label did you?
So let me update a previous comment:
Bullfrogs, bullets, bullshit and Red Bull.
What if this new development has been planted to aid in justifying the behaviour rather than exacerbate it?
Min jaf ghaliex – such thirst.
These are people that max out on/ exploit other people’s weaknesses, not their strengths.
I have seen children being given energy drinks by their parents at Lidl
“those who have problems with crack cocaine or methamphetamines, those who love stimulants, energy drinks seem like great legal substitutes. They deliver that same edginess, grittiness, and intensity, that wonderful sense of euphoria, as all those dopamines are released,” Mack says, thanks mainly to the caffeine jolt.”

An overdose of caffeine, as in Red Bull, would produce effects similar to cocaine.
It is unbelievable that anyone can consume such a huge amount of that drink. It sounds insane.
In that case he should be driving that Red Bull car and attaching a straw to the large can. Just top it up once a week or so. I wish I was a cartoonist to be able to draw it.
It’s a bull and it’s red. A good enough logo for the PL.
Overheard this morning on the Sliema-St Julian’s promenade:-
“Karozza barranija ….. kien xurban”
“Kien fis-sakra…… n-nies qalulu……mar jigri warajh bil-karozza”
There’s ‘passaparola’ for you. Guess where some idiots get their information from.
The DOI statement said the (forced) breathalyzer test showed three times the normal alcohol content.
Who was actually made to do the test: Sheehan, Smith, or both of them? Whose breathalyzer test result are we being informed about?
Could there be another misunderstanding similar to the ‘warning shots’ referred to in the same statement?
From what continues to (allegedly) emerge, can we still believe these liars?
Min irid 50 flixkun ilma, min irid 24 red bull.
A good replacement for Vettel. Down to earth and agile.
