14 June 2013 – three months after Labour won the general election, and the month when the Panama companies were registered

Time for a memory-refresh. Three months after Labour won the general elections, Joseph Muscat called the press to the Office of the Prime Minister and presented them with John Dalli, announcing that a man of such great talent should not go to waste and that he required Dalli’s excellent skills in a decision-making position. It later emerged that this decision-making position concerned public hospitals and Dalli immediately installed himself at the state general hospital along with his daughter.

This announcement (see videos below) took place on 14 June, 10 days after Konrad Mizzi’s Hearnville Inc and Keith Schembri’s Tillgate Inc were incorporated in Panama. Egrant Inc, the name of whose ultimate beneficial owner was not recorded in the Panama Papers email-cache because it was given over Skype, was incorporated on 4 July.
