These are the small fry. What about Jaws & Co?

They are all in their early 20s – hardly the big cheese at Identity Malta, and hardly in a position to be corrupt without the knowledge and cooperation of their superiors.

And I am more than a little tired of the government saying that corruption in visas has been going on at Identity Malta “for years” (so that’s all right then), and of watching the media repeat it.

Identity Malta was set up in 2013 by the current government. Before that, the issuing of visas was controlled by the police.
