Excellent detection, Mila.

The €26.6 million difference for 2013 must relate to the advent of the Taghna Lkollers in the last three quarters.

The jump is remarkable.

So remarkable that even this stinks.

I wonder whether DOI will have asked Manwel Mallia to Google-Data-Protect the lower figure by Friday?

A new way of doing figures.

July 1, 2014 TOM

”Social Policy Minister Michael Farrugia has now revealed the extent of the fraud that has been taking place in the payment of social benefits, and the picture that emerges is not nice at all.
The government, he said, was defrauded of €30 million in social benefits last year.”

December 1, 2014 Times of Malta

”More than €16 million in benefit fraud was detected in the past five years, information given in parliament today shows….565 were caught in 2013 when the fraud amounted to €3,391,478”

https://www.vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/Default.aspx

The website shows that Mr Morrison Smith’s car “Vehicle status” is “Not taxed” and tax was due on 11 August 2014.

I wonder if the car is properly insured. Every detail of this story seems to be murky.

Even if Mallia refuses, by making such requests we are still letting him know that we are not fools, so let’s echo this request.

”The PN today challenged Home Affairs Minister Manuel Mallia to publish all call logs and content of telephone calls and SMSs sent between him, his Chief of Staff Silvio Scerri, Government Head of Communications Kurt Farrugia, Acting Police Commissioner Ray Zammit and the Minister’s driver, Paul Sheehan, following the shooting incident in Gzira.”

Good observation, Gahan. You are probably right.

Yes he will continue to treat us like fools – because die hard Labourites whose number was augmented by thousands of unthinking “shifters” gave Muscat a resounding electoral victory and five years (at most) during which to bemoan their folly.
