Another of Joseph Muscat’s corrupt friends bites the dust

The British MEP Peter Skinner spoke at a Malta Labour Party rally in the campaign year 2012 to say how wonderful Muscat is and how everybody should vote for him.

Now the BBC reports that today he was found guilty of fraudulently claiming half a million pounds in expenses, after a trial by jury in a British court. He faces a prison sentence.

Skinner stood down from the European Parliament in 2014. He had endorsed (see YouTube video below) Edward Scicluna, now the Finance Minister, in the last general election campaign.
