In reply to Keen memory. The audit is only being made to gain time, there is going to be a lot of paper shredding in the meantime Nexia BT has already started. As you said we shall get any information from Panama.

In reply to Daphne Caruana Galizia. That is probably because no one wants the job.

In reply to Keen memory. Looks like they won't be getting them at all as they have all been shredded.

Exactly. I’ve been saying this since Konrad Mizzi came up with the bullshit idea of a tax audit.

The identity of the auditors remains mysterious so far.

Resign quietly and with dignity, Ministru. Don’t let them drag you out by the hair, kicking and screaming, clutching at il-Prim’s eyebrows.

Whether the secret Panama company is or was full, empty or half full is of no relevance at this point. You had it opened.

You knew the purpose (goodness, what other purpose can there be). You know you’ve been outed.

Yet you think you can smirk, grimace and grin your way through until it’s erased from public memory.

Shame on you, Ministru. You and anyone who still supports you.

We need to be reminded why Godfrey Farrugia lost his position. Compare and contrast to Mixwi.

What a joke, being a minister and being ” audited” by my own government. That would be enough reason to make me clear my desk and call it a day, and apologising on the way out.

Unless the ‘unknown’ auditor has full and unfettered access to all documents at Nexia BT, at Mossack Fonseca (Malta), at the Panamanian and New Zealand registries and every single bank in the world, and unless they can also guarantee that they have every relevant document because they have special spiritual powers, it is unequivocally IMPOSSIBLE for any auditor to give a 100% clean and true audit in a situation as murky as this.

Quite obviously the only information and documentation the auditor will see is whatever Mizzi himself decides to show them, with the approval and consent of the Prime Minister himself. There is no other route.

The Prime Minister has completely lost his moral compass, if he ever had one to begin with. We are staring organised crime in the face here.
