Muscat decided on Thursday to hold a sham inquiry. It was convenient, because the magistrate on duty was the first he appointed, in June 2013, which indicates some kind of relationship with Labour.

Nexia BT cleared out their documents during the day. They were spotted by people who work in other offices in the same building.

But Pilatus Bank couldn’t do that, because the owner doesn’t live in Malta. They had to wait for him to fly in from wherever. He said himself that he had come straight from the airport when journalists door-stepped him with the bags he was carrying out of the office at around 9pm.

Once that was done, Muscat announced his inquiry at the highly unusual hour of around 11.30pm. He couldn’t wait until the next day because another magistrate would be on duty.
