That must because he has hidden accounts himself and Schembri knows about them. He reacted the same way when asked about Schembri’s offshore company and then Egrant Inc popped up in the Panama Papers.

We’ve heard about Aliyeva’s bank transfer of millions to an account in Dubai. Now there are rumours of a bank account in Oman belonging to a Muscat. Does anyone else know anything about this?

In reply to Xanthippe. And the bank account in Switzerland...

Every time Muscat is asked a question like this about Keith Schembri and responds in this way, it turns out that Keith Schembri does have whatever he is being asked about. Just like with the company in Panama and the bank account with Pilatus Bank.

In reply to Keyhole. They should ask him if other MPs or people close to him, like Kurt Farrugia have one?

In reply to Keyhole. What a Prime Minister! He does not know whether his chief of staff has a Swiss bank account and will only talk about what he himself has or does not have. But then he knows that Austin Gatt had a Swiss account, and oh boy is he ready to speak about that! Once any accusation like that is made public by Dr Muscat or by Super one no court decision or documentation will make them drop the accusation.

In reply to Benny Hill. I myself have stopped feeling shock.

Look at the Prime Minister’s reaction while he waits with trepidation for Mario Frendo’s question.

I think that he was actually relieved to see that it was about whether Keith Schembri has a Swiss bank account.

There is something much much bigger our there and Muscat is afraid it’s going to break any time soon. Let’s find it before it’s too late.

If Simon Busuttil is not competent to be Prime Minister because of the so called confusion alliance, why does he still think that he (Muscat) is when he cannot even control his chief of staffs wheelings and dealings and plays the part of being oblivious to the underhand way his “pet minister’ does business?
