Kessler on Dalli: “He has been very proactive, going to the police in Malta, in Belgium, to the press, to denounce everybody but Silvio Zammit”

EU anti-fraud chief Giovanni Kessler, interviewed in The Sunday Times today:

“He (Mr Dalli) has been very proactive, going to the police in Malta, in Belgium, to the press and in other fora, to denounce everybody… but not Silvio Zammit. What would you do if a former friend betrayed you and that cost you your career?” Giovanni Kessler asked.

“He could have taken Mr Zammit to court for tarnishing his reputation… He could have accused him of trading in influence to his detriment. There is no question that Silvio Zammit has damaged Mr Dalli, greatly. Mr Dalli also has the right I think, to be a civil party in the criminal case. It would give Mr Dalli the right to have a lawyer in that case putting questions to Mr Zammit. He didn’t. Why?”
