I can’t believe he’s still lying about this

mallia hitman

Manuel Mallia, his long-time household retainer Joe L-Olandiz and Paul Sheehan are all members of the very tight Gzira-based boxing fraternity and denizens of the boxing scene in Malta.

Mallia roots for Billy the Hitman (Corito) and goes to his every match. Sheehan was on the Hitman’s crew and might well still be. He didn’t see any conflict then with the fact that he was policeman so he shouldn’t have seen any conflict since with the fact that he was also the Police Minister’s driver.

He knows Sheehan well enough to leave his four-year-old daughter with him at night as a free babysitter.

    Is it brazen defiance or something starting to not be quite right up there?

    On and on he goes.

    Manwel, if only you had resigned on the 20th November in order to clear your name, you would have been in a stronger position. By not doing so, you allowed Muscat to out maneuver you and throw you to the wolves. He got away scot free.

    Straight out of a 1930s New York gangster flick.

    He roots for a guy who goes by the name of Billy the Hitman? Wow, I feel safe.

  5. drinu says:

    An MP should ask in parlament if Sheehan was getting paid for babysitting Mallia’s daughter.

    If not, then there is obviously a friendship going on, and if he was then it’s a scandal in itself that from taxpayers’ money we are paying for the police minister to use his driver as a babysitter.

    So is having a baby sitter for free part of the perks? Is having. Chauffeur regularly taking your children to school part of the package? These seem to be common occurrences. Why are these issues, mundane as they are, not constantly raised in Parliament.

    Are there reasons why? Did our MPs also act in this way? Somehow I do not remember these instances or did I have blinkers on under the PN government?

    Did I feel at peace or comfortable with our country because I was a nationalist and therefore was fed the news that I wanted to hear, or was it just a bubbie ? Was I that stupid that I believed and still do that PN is the solution for this country.

    I feel that our MPs should start reiterating in a stringer manner. substantial arguments about the life that these EGO seeking Ministers are conducting should be constantly mentioned. PN should be hounding them constantly . If this is not done then we all are condoning this behavior and I then start thinking is that what they want I fir themselves.

    Hope my argument is clear just woke up but these actions make my blood boil

    The rooster crowed 3 times when St. Peter denied Jesus. Thank God there’s no rooster this time, otherwise it would be hoarse by now.

    The thing is that there are people who believe Mallia’s lies.

    This is why media is strong – all that has been written can be read back analysed, and better understood, when the picture starts properly unfolding.

    Manuel Mallia gave Joseph Muscat the story:

    http://www.maltatoday.com.mt/news/elections2013/24982/how-farrugia-used-swiss-account-to-divert-commissions-from-aikon-ltd-20130224#.VIq2IdLF89t

    Cordina said Intershore terminated its relationship with Farrugia on 1 November 2010 after it was informed by Powerplan’s legal counsel Manuel Mallia on 28 September that Aikon Ltd was suspected of criminal activity.

  13. Wilson says:

    Acquiantance, friend, porter, it does not make any difference. At the time he was his official government driver and as such his responsibility.

  14. Toni Borg says:

    Mallia seems still to be thinking that the ‘Poplu Malti’ can be taken for a ride and fooled by his declarations.

    It seems he still thinks he is in a court room where justice, logic and truth do not mix.

  15. simca says:

    Just read that Sheehan has been granted bail. I am no legal beagle, so does this mean that all relevant witnesses have been heard? If not, is there not a risk of tampering with evidence?

  16. Mandy says:

    Paul Borg Olivier (on Facebook, about an hour ago):

    “The appointment of Carmelo Abela as Minister for Home Affairs has done one right thing already. He has cleared the doorstep of his Ministry and the immediate surroundings of Strait Street from shady, obscure, fixer-looking types who were hanging around the Ministry on a daily basis.”

    • ciccio says:

      True.

      But there is still that one shady individual – who has been permanently debarred by the World Bank for corruption – with a registered office address across the road from the Ministry.

      Perhaps Carmelo Abela should move the Ministry to somewhere else.

  17. Augustus says:

    One of the reasons Mallia was dismissed is that he was responsible for the choice of his driver, fair enough.

    By the same reasoning, Muscat chose Mallia and he should go too. Choosing a dreadful cabinet minister is a far worse irresponsible decision than choosing a dreadful driver.
