“Minister Chris Cardona; former Malta Enterprise Chairman Mario Vella, and his successor William Wait; Malta Industrial Parks Chairman Tony Zahra; Malta Enterprise CEO Mario Galea, together with George Francalanza and his team; Bank of Valletta Chairman John Cassar White and his team; the General Workers’ Union, particularly Josef Bugeja; Matthew Calascione; and my Chief of Staff Keith Schembri, who was the catalyst in making sure that things get done.”

Calascione has been publicly thanked by Joseph Muscat. And what’s in it for the General Workers Union at this very early stage?

In reply to La Redoute. It's how Keith launders his dirty bucks. He buys the machinery with the dirty money and then gets paid back in instalments with "clean funds." Plus a deal on the upfront, a deal on the "paper" supply exclusivity etc.

This is how the Panama stash gets laundered. The Times model all over again.

In reply to La Redoute. A commission of 5% on this investment will give the suspect beneficiaries 5 milllion euros to share between them.

Shocking. How is it possible that no action can be taken to address such conflicts of interest?
