Corrupt inspector redeployed to Hamrun Police Station

Roderick Zammit – now redeployed to the Hamrun Police Station from his position at the Money Laundering Unit

Corrupt police inspector Roderick Zammit, who went into business with sleazy operators Joe Gaffarena and the Sicilian Francesco Airo (separately) has been removed from the police force’s Money Laundering Unit and redeployed at the Hamrun Police Station.

Zammit was deployed to the Money Laundering Unit – and his brother Daniel to the Economic Crimes Unit – when Manuel Mallia (their father’s cousin and a close collaborator) was Minister for Police.

A few weeks ago, Daniel Zammit was ‘boarded out’ of the police force at his own request, reportedly on psychiatric grounds. He walked straight into a 60,000-euro-a-year consultancy job at Enemalta Corporation, but was dismissed when the scandal broke in the press. He is now on the payroll at Marco Gaffarena’s office, working in ‘accounts’.

Right up until the week he left the force in May, Daniel Zammit was prosecutor and investigator in the murder of Marco Gaffarena’s sister’s lover by her husband Stephen Caruana. Six and a half years after the murder, Marco Gaffarena’s brother-in-law has not yet been placed under a bill of indictment.

After this website revealed the story, the government was silent about the matter for more than a week and then issued a statement a couple of days ago that the prime minister has ordered an inquiry led by retired judge Michael Mallia.

Former acting Commissioner of Police, Ray Zammit – father of the two corrupt police inspectors – is equally embroiled but continues to head a largely imaginary ‘warden disciplinary organisation’ which appears to have been set up for no reason other than to have somewhere to put him after he was persuaded out of the police force a few weeks ago.
