The Economic Crimes Unit police inspector with the borrowed Ferrari

Police inspector Daniel Zammit of the Economic Crimes Unit was routinely seen driving around in a car like this, borrowed off an Italian who is based in Malta and operates in ‘online gaming’.

Corrupt Police Inspector Daniel Zammit, son of corrupt former acting Commissioner of Police Ray ‘Il-Mulej’ Zammit, who in the ‘Golden Years of Labour’ was second-in-command of the vile and feared police Special Mobile Unit (SMU), the unit dispatched to beat people up who were demonstrating against the Labour government

While his father was acting Commissioner of Police, Daniel Zammit – who was then a police inspector with the Economic Crimes Unit and who is in the news right now on other corruption issues – was constantly seen driving about the island in a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, with foreign registration plates SU128A.

This car belongs to a Sicilian called Francesco Airo, who operates in ‘online gaming’.

I put the words ‘online gaming’ in inverted commas because internet gaming is huge in the laundering of Italian mafia money. When Italy began to clamp down, the laundering operations began moving out and into Malta.

The Malta-based fixer for one Naples Camorra family is Bastjan Dalli, brother of the former European Commissioner John Dalli. Last year (link below) I had published an Italian news report which details how Bastjan Dalli’s name came up in telephone conversations between two Camorra men. The conversations were tapped and recorded as part of a judicial investigation.

Daniel Zammit’s duties in the Economic Crimes Unit included investigations into the gaming industry. And an Italian man operating in the gaming industry in Malta loaned him a €300,000 car for his personal use.

But il-papa was the acting Commissioner of Police and il-kugin Manuel was the Police Minister, so let corruption rule.
