Central Bank deputy governor reported to the police this morning for theft of personal documents

A report was filed with the police this morning that Central Bank deputy governor Alfred Mifsud stole a file containing personal documents and letters from the Fort Cambridge flat he used to share with his then companion Anna Zelbst, with whom he has an adult son and daughter.

Using the keys he still retained, Mr Mifsud entered the flat at around 8pm last Sunday night, when Mrs Zelbst was out of the country, taking his children unawares and telling them that he “wanted a change” that night. He waited for them to go to sleep and then rifled through their mother’s cupboards and drawers. He was surprised rummaging through her bureau at dawn and left the flat shortly afterwards when he was told that the police would be called.

Mrs Zelbst returned to Malta at midnight last night and found her leased car missing from the airport car-park. She immediately assumed that Alfred Mifsud had removed it using a spare set of keys in his possession, and filed a report at the airport police station. “They said they would speak to him and later rang me for his address,” she told this website, “but I had to tell them that I don’t know it.”

On reaching home by taxi, she found that a file of her personal documents and letters was missing. “He was looking for one important document that is evidence of something which he did,” she said, “but it was not in that file he took, and he didn’t find it. I still have it.”

Mrs Zelbst walked to the Sliema Police Station first thing this morning and filed a report against the deputy governor of the Central Bank for the theft of her personal documents. The police are investigating the matter.

Exhaustion takes its toll on the deputy governor of the Central Bank as he snatches a power nap at an airport lounge with his shoes off.
