I have no doubt that the Prime Minister is in on it with Konrad Mizzi and Keith Schembri. I came to this conclusion last year, the moment he lied to the public to protect Mizzi by saying that he had declared his New Zealand/Panama set-up in his as yet unpublished “draft” declaration of assets.

I did not require anything else to convince me that Muscat was guilty as sin, and what emerged later in the Panama Papers simply confirmed my view

Konrad Mizzi did not go to all the trouble of setting up a company in Panama and a trust in New Zealand, with his ownership concealed behind nominees, only to then go and declare it routinely to parliament back home. He included it last year because he was caught and had no choice (other than resigning),  and the Prime Minister was complicit in lying to the public about it.

If Muscat thought nothing about lying to protect Mizzi, then he will lie with even greater ease to protect himself. He is certainly in it with them.

Can I have some kickbacks, too, please?
