Where would you give one of your spies a job? At the state information technology agency.

This is Sabrina Agius, who was Joseph Muscat’s spy in the newsroom at RTK radio before the general election, and who was ‘asked to leave’ after her email exchanges with Muscat, on the newsroom computers and her rtk address, were discovered.

So, of course, Muscat put her on the state payroll when he became prime minister. And there she is, in a spy’s heaven – at the Malta Information Technology Agency, which processes all gov.mt emails.
