Comments on: This story on Times of Malta is completely untrue – it is clearly the doctored version given by the minister’s driver/police

Speaking from experience, the Malta police have always been a bunch of heavy handed, lying amateur bullies.

They go to the extent of committing perjury to cover up their incompetence and failures.

In reply to Dave.

This immediate eyewitness version is diametrically opposite to what’s being updated by news portals on the basis of the ‘facts’ fed to them by government sources.

What, in the name of sanity, are they trying to do here?

Intimidate anyone from coming up with their version of events, that’s what.

Times of Malta put up a phone number under the ministry’s version asking anyone to come forward with their version of events, yeah right, and then what? Be arrested themselves?

If anything, anyone with information should call the Nationalist Party’s newsroom, because they seem to have had access to documentation showing where the bullets hit, one the rear left cluster, one the roof.

And if bushing the side mirror is a hit and run, I get those once a week.

Now is the time to call Godfrey Grima, ask him when any Nationalist minister behaved like this, covering up for lowlifes dressed in uniform.

In reply to Plotinus. Forget The Times, RIP. It is no longer the point of reference for reliable information. It is just a Government mouthpiece.

Fishy as hell. Far too many versions abound which do not even tally with the videos and photos (eg. were they in or near the tunnels when the incident happened? The GM car is clearly in the tunnels so it would be safe to assume the warning shots took place in the tunnels.)

In any case, why is the ministry giving updates to newspapers not (as is normally the case) a police spokesman?

[Daphne – This is how it happened. The altercation happened in Triq Wied Il-Kappara. It was witnessed (sound and vision) by people who live there. The minister’s driver waved his gun at the other driver. The other driver was scared, turned away and got into his car. The minister’s driver shot at him, and the other driver sped off. The minister’s driver got into GM14 and raced after him. The police caught up with them both in the tunnel.]
