#bribesfromjordan

You have to marvel at the gall of those corrupt hamalli. They hand over a huge tract of ODZ coastal land to some camel-trader from Jordan – in return for God only knows what massive backhander into God only knows whose Panama or the British Virgin Islands company – and then they call a press conference, fronted by that repulsive sleaze-ball the Minister for the Economy, and bitch on about the deputy Opposition leader’s swimming-pool.

And when Chris Cardona finishes the press conference, he heads off to one of the bars owned by King of Sleaze Hugo Chetcuti and drinks until dawn, then heads off for the penthouse loaned to him in Swieqi and leased in the name of Henley & Partners, having vacated the favour-flat lent to him by his drinking buddy Silvan ‘Portomaso’ Fenech, kips down for what remains of the night, then spends five hours at the office before heading off to the Stable bar with his creepy, sleazy chief of staff, owner of tacky Pardi and Scruples boutiques in Birkirkara and Hamrun.

Two of the corrupt hamalli who are running the country. Do they have companies in Panama too?
