In reply to Daphne Caruana Galizia. A pretty big 'only'. Hardly likely someone in Azerbaijan will talk, I think.

Please understand that this website is not a Citizens Advice Bureau. The worldwide media are flooded with information about this ongoing story, and asking me things to save time searching them out and reading them for yourself is not an option. But to answer your question: if you were to go to the ICIJ portal, you will find a list of its media partners across the world. Those are the only news organisations with which it cooperates, as the name STRONGLY suggests.

Today I watched a video interview in which Muscat tells journalists that if he finds out that any of his ministers have any secret accounts he would fire them. This was during Swiss Leaks. With what we know today he already looked uneasy at the time he made this statement when pressed by the journalists.

What? No, of course not. Only the ICIJ’s media partners have access.

In reply to Kelinu. When a member of the government or a public official takes a cut on a contract he has signed/negotiated, that is not a commission (commission is legal) but graft (a crime).

‘Consultancy’ and ‘brokerage’ were the objects of Mizzi’s company. As an Uber Minister who works night and day for the common good when would be have had time to do brokerage?

In any case the rewards of brokerage are ‘COMMISSIONS’. The purpose of the Panama company is now disclosed. The main purpose is to collect ‘COMMISSIONS’.

In reply to Joseph Farrugia. Companies are not bank accounts. They do not have things in them. They own things.

In reply to CIS. Which world are you living in? He did not slip out of anything.
