There is documented proof of Adrian Hillman’s secret company in the British Virgin Islands

Adrian Hillman, managing director of the Allied Group of Companies, publishers of The Sunday Times and the Times of Malta, has issued a statement “denying all allegations”.

He does not, however, deny them specifically, which is what an honest and unjustly accused man would do. He has done exactly what the Prime Minister’s chief of staff did earlier today – and in fact, I read Keith Schembri’s statement this morning as a signal to Hillman to do the same.

There is documented proof of the existence of Adrian Hillman’s secret company in an offshore jurisdiction. Today I can reveal that it is in the British Virgin Islands, alongside Keith Schembri’s, and that it was set up for him in 2011 by the now incredibly famous Brian Tonna of Nexia BT.

The documentation will be published before long (it’s not up to me), so these denials just make the situation a whole lot worse.
