Would that be a Maltese passport holder, or someone with connections to Malta? Because I can think of at least one in the latter category who would have that sort of wealth. But he is not politically exposed.

139 bank Accounts and 71 clients.
To put this in perspective – the total amount is 687.4M and one person has 629.7M.

Taken in proportion to the size of the Maltese economy, this is a ridiculously large number.

There is no doubt that the name of the person holding 629.7M needs to be disclosed and there is also no doubt that this person is a politically exposed person.

I wonder how many charities in Africa that would bankroll.

But this is how Muscat and Co work: make money from all sorts of amnesties, and then use it to buy votes.

I wonder if the Maltese government got the list at the time.

It’s US dollars not euros, but still an impressive sum.

Are you thinking what I’m thinking? It’s cold, and I’m wearing a bobble hat.

Does such a large account abroad weigh on decisions taken in other branches of the same bank?

‘the unpredictable price of crude oil’ yes if you do not understand geopolitics, very predictable if you have an idea of why and how the price comes up and down.
