Stephen Smith has a Brazilian passport

Published: December 11, 2014 at 7:45pm

When I looked up the company details for Waterbus International Ltd, Stephen Smith’s company, I remarked on the fact that his nationality was given as Maltese, but his identification number was not that of a Maltese identity card, as it is always is for Maltese individuals in Companies Registry details.

It was a number that looked like a foreign passport number.

Shortly after I uploaded that post, Smith’s nationality was amended on Companies registry details for Waterbus International to ‘British’, leaving the same identification number which turns out to be his British passport number.

Here I have uploaded screenshots from the records for Waterbus International showing Smith’s nationality first as Maltese and later changed to British, with the same passport number.

But I have since discovered that Stephen Smith also has another company registered in Malta: Ultimate Technology Ltd. In the company records, he is registered as Brazilian and identified by a completely different passport number. In MFSA records, your nationality must match the listed identification document, so it follows that the number by which Stephen Smith is identified for Ultimate Technology is that of a Brazilian passport.

    Does Ryan Schembri have a Brazilian passport too?

  2. Katrin says:

    Ah, the famous meat imports from Brazil.

  3. Mallia (no relationship) says:

    Hmmm a Brazilian passport. People with links to Brazil are featuring in the news a lot recently. The absconded Ryan Schembri used to import “meat” from Brazil.

  4. king rat says:

    The joining of dots goes in the direction of meat imports from Brazil and hey presto, is this man linked to a cousin of Keith Kasco, who has since vanished into thin air?

    This gets more interesting by the minute.

    • Dave says:

      And the rumour that someone with a lot of cash under the mattress partook of the Brazlian venture returns to close the circle.

  5. Beingpressed says:

    You previously posted the details of another foreign sounding name to that address. A female with the surname Duncan?

    [Daphne – Yes, Michelle Duncan. No ID card information for her, though.]

  6. Beingpressed says:

    Is it an accountants’ office?

    [Daphne – No. That box is for the director’s/shareholder’s residential address.]

  7. verita says:

    Daphne – our national detective.

    [Daphne – Not really. It’s more of a group effort. People send in different bits of information, and what I do is link them up together and try to find out additional bits where they strike me as necessary.]

    • jimmy firman says:

      I believe that this matter should be investigated by the newly appointed Police Chief. Let’s see what is the true nationality of this Smith person.

  8. edgar says:

    Brazil – we’ve been getting a lot of beef from there in recent years.

  9. observer says:

    Maybe he’s in the beef business, with Keith Schembri’s runaway cousin Ryan.

  10. Dumbo says:

    We all know who used to spend considerable time in Brazil.

    [Daphne – No need to be coy about it. Meinrad Calleja lived there for a long time. That was when he was under investigation by the British customs & excise, who had worked out that he was passing cocaine through British airports en route to somewhere else. Malta, as it turned out.]

  11. Herbie says:

    Hmm Brazilian eh.

    Godfrey Ellul, Meinrad Calleja and Ryan Schembri too had connections with Brazil. Meinrad Calleja actually lived there for many years.

  12. Len says:

    Just watched the new Commissioner of Police on Dissett, Daphne. Unbelievable, this man cannot construct a sentence.

    I couldn’t follow what he was saying, going from one subject to another and making stupid mistakes.

    Reno Bugeja looked very stressed trying to follow, pretending that nothing was happening and instead of questioning him, it was more of helping putting words in his mouth.

  13. vanni says:

    Carmelo Abela was making €73,000 a year (That’s over €1400 a month, for doing nothing, so how much is he getting now, now that he has become a minister?

    Sai Mizzi is receiving €160,000 a year (over €13,000 a month) for being Chinese and wanting to get away from her husband.

    Lou Bondi receives €54,000 a year (€4500 a month) for organizing parties and ‘designing unveiling ceremonies’.

    These three are just the tip of the iceberg, the ones who are most prominently obvious.

    The question that interests all is HOW Muscat is paying for these iced buns. Well next time you go decide to fill up your car, be it with diesel or petrol, just keep in mind that you’re paying to keep the Labour Party partying.

    Labour waffle a lot, and pooh-pooh non friendly statistics, yes even these:

    So here’s a photo of a petrol station in Germany:

    • Ganni Borg says:

      Vanni, €73,000 a year works out at €1,402 a week.

    • Imbellah says:

      You forgot the other guy looking for garages. I would love to see his job description in more detail and his progress reports, presumably submitted on a regular basis.

      Man, you must be damn inefficient not to have found a single garage after all these months.

  14. L.Gatt says:

    And the plot thickens.

  15. Jon says:

    That can just be a typo. The clerk entering the details may have typed Br and then didn’t scroll down to British but hit Enter on Brazilian.

    [Daphne – I hope for your sake you’re being sarcastic. Did the clerk also accidentally hit enter on a whole different series of digits when keying in the passport number?]

  16. Bully Beef says:

    Brazilian Beef….Kugin Ryan il-Friza and Stephen Smith, where is the connection?

  17. Government milk says:

    What happend to Ryan Il-Friza?? Mietet fuq ommha.

    Like everything connected to the MLP.
