A seven-million-euro-in-the-red breath of fresh air.

Not if he bought it before they married. A building isn’t protected just because your wife lives in it too. It would only be protected if it’s in her name, which is why the law does not allow people to transfer property to their spouse – to safeguard against crooks like Frank Portelli piling up millions in debt while transferring his assets to his wife.

Plenty of people have lost their marital home because of debts – I myself know several personally.

Funny how all the Maltese men who can’t stand me are such bitches. Qiskom qabda nisa with nothing to do – are you sure you’re all actually straight?

You may recall that a couple of years back, Frank’s home was due to be sold by court auction at the request of medical suppliers Charles de Giorgio Ltd. He then asked for a stay of execution and got it. I have no idea what has happened since.

Frank holds off the judicial auction of the actual hospital building – the land on which it is built is far more valuable than the now-worthless hospital itself – with talk of endless castle-in-the-air deals with one government after another. But it’s only a matter of time before that goes under the hammer too.

He has no way of paying any kind of debt at all, let alone many millions. He couldn’t (or wouldn’t) even pay a debt of a couple of thousand euros to an IT company, which had to take him to court and still didn’t get paid.

He has no income at all. They live off his wife’s earnings, and her earnings cannot be seized by creditors because he took the precaution of separating their estates.

Portelli has roughly twice as much debt as Delia given the available information so far.

No, it’s a business debt of many millions. Nothing to do with the house or the children.

And yes, he and his wife gassing on about their children all the time really get on my nerves. It’s as though they both use their children to somehow validate themselves.

In reply to FCB.

I’m not surprised, given the way you communicate.

Listen to you: “Adrian can take us out of this black hole”. You’re not even away of the Old Testament thinking. Moses and the 40 years in the desert, the promised land…

This is a political party/government in the 21st century that we’re talking about, not frigging deliverance.

That’s obviously because to you the political parties are football teams. “Adrian Delia can make us win” – yes, and then….what?

In reply to Daphne Caruana Galizia. Good for you if it makes no difference...for me and most of us fed up the lack of leadership, cliques and sheer arrogance within the PN it does.
