Philip Rizzo, chief executive officer of the Employment and Training Corporation – which has put any number of Taghna Lkollers and Labour Party cronies on the payroll, including himself, Clint Scerri’s (il-Kink tal-Lands) Russian wife and Clint Scerri’s mother – has been charged with harassment of his wife’s brother, Michael Ferry.

Mr Rizzo, who campaigned heavily for the Labour Party in the last general election campaign, was appointed adviser to the Ministry for the Family a few weeks after the Labour Party formed the government.

He was appointed CEO of the Employment and Training Corporation last year.

He will appear in court to face those charges the day after tomorrow.
