Super-stately

Here’s a photograph of Malta’s head of state with the president of the Malta Developers Association, Sandro Chetcuti, and other association officials.

The picture was taken last night at Charles ‘Ic-Caqnu’ Polidano’s Montekristo Estate, also the location of his highly illegal zoo, which the Malta Environment and Planning Authority has described as the country’s “largest illegal development”.

The occasion was a fund-raising dinner which the Malta Developers Association organised with a view to raising money for the Community Chest Fund. Ic-Caqnu gave the use of his premises and services to the head of state for free.
