BROTHELGATE: The Economy Minister and his consultant put on towelling robes to go to the bar

So, here are some more specific details from my source – let’s call him Deep Throat, which is appropriate given the circumstances – at the Velbert brothel.

The Minister for the Economy, Chris Cardona, and his EU presidency policy officer, Joe Gerada, put on towelling robes to go to the bar. They sat on a sofa on the right-hand side of a long bar, facing the bar counter. And Gerada’s exact words about the water temperature were: “Il-liba, veru kemm hu kiesaħ dal-ilma, daqqa sħun u daqqa kiesaħ.”

Because, of course, a Maltese person with zero self-awareness would say “il-liba” in a brothel.
