“During the 17 April 2013 meeting, Camilleri informed the PM that he was discussing the sale of the Company to third parties and that one offer had already been tabled.” (page 42)

“One must recall that CE had received an offer from a third party on 17 May 2013, comparable to that eventually agreed to with Government. Of note is the fact that this offer had been tabled by the third party to CE prior to the commencement of negotiations with Government.” (page 75)

In an email (9 July 2013) Advisor OPM advised the PM that “the Camilleris would prefer to finalise a deal with Government rather than the third party preferred by their partners (presumably Neville Curmi), …” (page 49)

What is curious is that Camilleri was very open about offers he was getting from third parties. He used third party offers to negotiate a better payout for Cities Entertainment Ltd from the government.

He was not worried that the government might decide to change its mind and not buy back the lease (which after all was the most sensible thing to do).

Why? Was it because he had a firm pre-electoral commitment from Joseph Muscat?

If the worry was the fact that court procedures could take long I’m sure there are provisions for the Government to take any land or property if it is in the public interest (it does so all the time when passing new roads). This deal is disgusting to say the least.
