These emails are forged
When you spend much of your working life checking proofs, it becomes second nature, like doctors who stand chatting to guests at a party while automatically and silently diagnosing them.
And so it was when I read the ‘George Farrugia emails’ stories in The Times and Malta Today. I went back and forth between them having realised at once that the email in the photographs in each of the two reports, while ostensibly the same email, is in fact different.
And it is not just the formatting either, where the differences are immediately obvious.
In one, the salutation is to ‘Mattieu’. In the other, it is to ‘Matthieu’. In one, ‘appropriate’ is spelled correctly. In the other, it is spelled ‘appropreate’.
I am sure my readers will notice other discrepancies and send them in.
Over and above that, the text itself is different in the two emails. It has either been incorrectly retyped, or subjected to different cutting. I would say that the one in The Times is definitely cut (not by the newspaper, obviously), and the cutting is so rough that ‘Geneva’ has been caught a third of the way through.
Another point: that email address no longer exists. It’s now [email protected].
NOTE: I have been informed by The Times that the email picture they used is the one doing the rounds on Facebook. They do no have an actual print-out themselves.
Now I am going to remind you about something you might well have forgotten, if you ever knew about it at all.
In the aftermath of the last general election, when it was all about Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando and his determination to get a cabinet post despite being embroiled in the Mistra scandal and lying bare-facedly to the prime minister (and others), Jeffrey suddenly produced some emails out of nowhere.
They were purportedly between Eden Leisure Group’s Kevin De Cesare and Mark Micallef, a journalist at The Times, and it was supposed to be an exchange about how to leak information on Jeffrey and Mistra.
You see, at that stage, Jeffrey’s main concern was trying to prove that he was the victim of a set-up by people who wanted to undermine his nightclub plans because they were business rivals.
I took one look at the emails and told Jeffrey, ‘Forget it. These are forged. I have known Kevin De Cesare literally all my life and there is no way on earth that is his language or even his English’. And obviously, if it wasn’t Kevin, then it wasn’t Mark either.
I rang both Kevin De Cesare and Mark Micallef to see what they had to say. Kevin’s furious rage at Jeffrey’s accusation and at his sliminess is still unprintable today, and I have since come to share that view wholeheartedly. Mark was seriously upset and angry at the way his name had been thrown into the mix.
At the time, still being more or less on Jeffrey’s side, I wondered who had forged those emails, and why. When I understood fully what a little piece of excrement he is, I stopped wondering, because the answer was obvious.
Jeffrey needed those emails to prove he was a victim of a ‘kumplott’. He was completely at a loss when my instant reaction was that Kevin couldn’t have written them, and I wanted to know where he had got them and he couldn’t tell me straight.
The emails were perfectly formatted to look like the real thing printed out from Outlook. But they were not the real thing at all.
I mention this for no other reason than that we might well be looking at something similar here.
I think it most unfortunate that Jeffrey PO was the first to rush to Facebook and make a big point of saying that he supports the cabinet decision to grant a pardon to George Farrugia.
I do not wish to suggest that he is in any way involved (and I am not suggesting it), but I increasingly get the feeling that we are looking at the wrong plot and the wrong Evil Network, and that there is considerably more to all this than meets the eye.
Sadly, Jeffrey was never investigated on the matter of those forged emails five years ago. But he should have been, if only for the slander perpetrated on two other men.

One person who may wish to incriminate Austin Gatt would definitely be Franco Debono…..sure the guy has one humungous motive.
Perhaps he should also be interrogated.
I have serious reservations about the presidential pardon. Farrugia backstabbed his own family. How will his testimony hold up in a court of law?
Rather than backstabbing his family, to me it sounds more like an attempt to clear out his accounts before they were frozen by the prosecution.
The w in FW in one email is in upper case, and in the other it is not. Equally strange.
This should be headline news on all stations this evening! Excellent.
Only one party is capable of stooping so low.
He did it again this week on 903, saying he was used as a smokescreen.
I think I saw him drooling at the ‘monumental’ amounts of money embezzled which, according to him, run into billions.
Following this post, I think The Times should really check its sources, before any remaining credibility’s lost.
Don’t the newspapers bother checking out their sources’ reliability?
One expects little of Malta Today, given its history and association with the wrong sort. But the Times? What on earth were they thinking?
The Times story was published almost a day after the story first appeared in Malta Today. The email is purportedly identitical, but it isn’t at all.
Did they not notice or was this deliberate? Either way, they don’t come out of this smelling of roses.
No surprise as The Times has been going down, down and down – its credibility is now being seriously lost.
Not only its political reporting but in general -see the online version and you will understand better.
Maa, x’misthija dawk tat-Times.
Couldn’t they produce the email verbatim, as they claim, without bothering to present it as if it were the original email?
How ‘inappropreate.’
Joseph Muscat referred to agreements relating to oil purchases in the Xarabank programme broadacast before the story broke on Malta Today. This could be confirmation that this story has been leaked and twisted by the Labour Party itself.
COULD be confirmation?
Please.
No one who wants to leak a news story would release it in dribs and drabs to different newspapers, unless it’s part of a strategy.
And why wait for so many years to just before the election?
So what they are saying is that ammunition before an election is more important than exposing alleged corruption as early as possible.
Ask Saviour, he’s been announcing a scandal for over two years.
Trust him to blab before it’s even in the news.
No, they’re not necessarily forged.
The devil is in the detail and your content analysis was very superficial.
It appears that The Times took it upon themselves to prettify the email whereas the one published by MaltaToday looks more genuine.
1. They were printed by someone who has the Maltese locale settings set on their Windows computer.
Today’s date is “Il-Ħamis, 14 ta’ Frar 2013”. Note the comma after the day.
MaltaToday’s version has the comma in the right place (“Is-Sibt, 19 ta’ Ġunju 2004”) whereas it is omitted in the version published by The Times (“Is-Sibt 19 ta’ Ġunju 2004”).
2. The contact is saved in (allegedly) George Farrugia’s address book as Mattieu ROUQUIE, without an ‘h’. This is clearly seen in the To: field at the top.
A contact is generally created automatically in your Outlook address book after you receive a message from that person first. So unless Mr Rouquie misspelt his own surname in his email settings (or failed to flag this error to his company’s systems administrator, which is unlikely), I’m inclined to believe that the salutation in MaltaToday’s version (Mattieu without an ‘h’) is the correct one.
The Times must have thought that Matthieu is the correct way of spelling it and went on with the correction.
3. The version published by MaltaToday has an extra space between the name and the comma in the salutation:
“Dear Mattieu_,”
The Times removed the extra space:
“Dear Matthieu,”
4. And finally, our beloved Occam’s Razor:
MaltaToday’s print out is set in Arial, which is the default font for all emails printed from Outlook.
TOM’s email is set in Calibri, which is the default font in MS Word. This might suggest that the content was first pasted in Word for editing before it was sent off for publishing.
(This is not fail proof and the fonts can be changed, but your average journalist won’t mess with default settings.)
Verdict: The version published in The Times was very probably proofread and reformatted before it was published.
A proper forensic analysis into ascertaining the veracity of the emails will go beyond that.
And I doubt a presidential pardon would have been issued so quickly had George Farrugia declared those emails were not his own.
[Daphne – The flaw in your analysis is that you don’t know that The Times did not touch anything. I have just had a message from them to that effect. The other flaw in your argument is that you fail to take into account the possibility of forging Outlook emails when they are printed as opposed to forging them in actual Outlook (digital). The email print-outs which Jeffrey PO showed me – which were forgeries – were perfect Outlook print-outs, right down to every last element of formatting. As for Occam’s Razor, this is where it comes in: if the email shown by Malta Today were genuine, it would have been scanned in its entirety and reproduced as a full, face-on scan. As it is, part of the text has been clearly compromised and the email itself is photographed, rather than scanned, lying at an angle on a desk, and so you should ask why.]
I did say that a proper forensic analysis will go beyond a simple content and format analysis. Even email headers can be forged (I’m sure the Cyber Crime Unit will have looked into that already), but if this were the case, I’m sure George Farrugia or his lawyers would have issued a statement about that early on.
For the other reasons I provided above, it is pretty obvious that the version by The Times is a (retyped?) copy of the one originally published in MaltaToday.
Suffice to say that MT published theirs on 13th Feb and The Times, trying to catch up with the competition, published theirs a day later (today), on the 14th. The Times can vouch for their journalistic integrity as much as they want. I’m not buying any of that.
[Daphne – The version published by The Times is the one being fed into the system via Facebook.]
“NOTE: I have been informed by The Times that the email picture they used is the one doing the rounds on Facebook. They do no have an actual print-out themselves.”
That’s some quality journalism on their part.
Quite an expert our Qeghdin Sew.
The Times are now saying that they retyped the emails due to the poor quality of the originals.
Something is really fishy, and looks like the Times have more than one finger in the pie.
There is a punctuation mark after ‘is-Sibt’ in the timeline of one but not of the other. Fishy.
With regards to the Mistra emails, JPO might have had something to do with their production, but I find it impossible to believe that they were written by him.
He may not be tal-pepe, but I’m not tal-pepe either and the English in those emails makes me cringe nevertheless. Apart from linguistic considerations, if he truly was the hand behind the emails, would he have been surprised when you recognised that they were fakes?
[Daphne – No, because he didn’t know that Kevin De Cesare and I grew up on the same Hotel Preluna block at a time when that neighbourhood was pretty much a village with the same families who had been there for years. He had no idea that Kevin and I know each other very well, because I am famously not a party animal, and he would have assumed that this would be the only way I could have known him. Sliema is alien to Jeffrey, remember. He has no idea who knows who and how. In fact, after I told him there is no way this could have been Kevin, he argued and insisted that it was. It was as though he WANTED it to have been Kevin, whereas in that situation, and in his position, I would have wanted it not to be.]
I find it more likely that he would have been surprised if he did not personally know Kevin De Cesare and his linguistic background.
As for the George Farrugia email, I noticed that there was something fishy too. Coincidentally this morning I fired off a comment to The Times remarking about the unusual truncation and formatting of sentences but, guess what…it wasn’t published.
Aha. His reaction as you describe it here changes the situation drastically.
Still though, JPO’s English is not as disastrous as that in the emails. I guess he might have outsourced the task to some little elve.
It is disastrous. Take it from me.
It is the responsibility of a good agent/representative of a foreign company to hold meetings from time to time with CEOs, Chairmen and Ministers, especially if this foreign company is aspiring to do business with a government entity in Malta.
It does not mean that anything illegal or corrupt was discussed or agreed during such meetings.
Many agents/representatives tend to exaggerate the extent of their relationship with the decision-makers.
Has it been established if Farrugia ever had meetings with decision makers in Enemalta during the 22 months Labour were in power.
Bang on! My first impression was that someone re-typed the emails to make them publishable.
But considering that many people do get easily impressed and never wait for proper investigation, the damage these emails have done is immeasurable.
Furthermore, no one has mentioned that more than half the people being investigated are from the Labour pool. When are the Nationalists going to talk about this subject and many others? After the 9th of March?
Just like Joseph’s PhD thesis

A very WELL DONE to Daphne.
http://shiporacle.com/ship_operators/24681
It’s interesting to note how the word “inform” was written in the above email. Very few people would write it that way. Interestingly enough, I just thought of making a quick google search “informe timesofmalta” just to check whether an MLP elve would write it that way.
The first article coming up is this one, including a comment by former Labour minister Joe Grima’s girlfriend:
http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20100522/local/night-club-owner-guilty-of-resisting-police.308427
Interesting, although I think that misspelling ‘informe’ is just a coincidence.
Lynn Zahra’s comment contains many other errors such as, ‘ would you belief it?’, 3policemen, i.dcard, etc.
In the case of ‘informe’, notice which word follows – ‘me’. It is easy, especially when in a hurry to duplicate letters or be thinking one syllable ahead. She wrote…’informe me’, probably with her mind set on ‘me’ and repeating it twice.
It’s the usual story — Labour throwing mud … and if they don’t have any, then perhaps someone might think it clever to make it…
I do hope that the police are thorough in their investigations and are able to find who is at the bottom of it all.
I think that given the gravity of the accusations and their implications, the Police should prioritize the clarifications to the public on the issue of these emails.
Surely an answer to the veracity and authenticity of the exchanges could be had well before the election date?
Given that there is a suspicion that the source of these forged emails could be linked to an intent to tamper with voter confidence, these findings merit a loud and clear answer to the public now and not after election date.
As it is, it appears that this blog is responsible for and capable of publicly raising concerns, responding to and perhaps clearing certain issues faster than the original sources of publication of these mails.
Though the whole of the case may well require lengthier treatment, I believe there is a moral obligation that the Police should now observe in coming forward with an urgent statement as to this particular aspect, as well as a loud and clear reporting of this statement by all media.
Even if it is to state that the emails in question are not included in their inquiry.
Well done Daphne.
Brava Daphne. Great job. Other journalists have so much to learn from you. Keep up the good work.
The public has a right to an explanation from MaltaToday and The Times
Yes, to a certain extent.
As far as I know, a journalist can protect the identity of their sources and I don’t expect MaltaToday to divulge their source any time soon.
However, after some prodding, it seems The Times sourced their photo from Facebook. The less said, the better.
BRAVA for a million times.
“Another point: that email address no longer exists. It’s now [email protected].”
Just in case some readers interpret the above as another proof that these emails are forged:
The @maltanet.net address shown in the emails would have existed in 2004 because Maltanet was still in operation back then.
Maltanet merged with DataStream and eventually became GO a year or two later, hence the new @go.net.mt address.
[Daphne – That is not what I meant at all. Unfortunately, I take understanding of certain things to be universal. As it happens, you are also wrong about maltanet addresses becoming defunct and now being ‘go’ addresses. Plenty of Maltanet addresses are still in use, including those of some of my work colleagues, which is how I know.]
Of course you didn’t, but seeing some of the reactions here, you can’t help think otherwise.
Mine’s still @maltanet.net
Even mine.
You’re not as smart as you think, Qeghdin Sew. @maltanet.net addresses still function, even though the @go.net.mt equivalent became operational years ago.
Total Malta, the company which was presumably behind the [email protected] address, went into liquidation in 2004 and was then struck off the company registry.
The [email protected] address was probably cancelled at the time the company was closed. [email protected] is still recognised as a valid email address. Whether it is still being used is another story.
I like how blog posts and in-comment replies change over time.
Issa ħammur nieħu ftit Earl Grey.
[Daphne – Yes, well, the solution to that is not updating with new information, which isn’t a solution, is it. After replying to your comment, I remembered that I regularly use maltanet addresses to correspond with work colleagues, so felt obliged to mention it.]
Understandable, but the standard practice among reputable online sources is to add a note stating that the article was updated since it was first published, ideally indicating what has changed.
[Daphne – This isn’t an online newspaper. It’s a blog. I think you forget that. Blogs are a sort of online diary, except that I don’t discuss myself, but discuss politics and similar.]
Cut the crap, Qeghdin Sew.
If you’re so incensed by online changes, surf over to the Labour Party and hector them on this sneaky Orwellian practices, like removing all traces of Muscat’s less than glorious record as a Super One / Maltastar / Malta Labour Party hired heckler, including his ludicrous TV series Made in Brussel and his reams of newspaper columns telling us about the horrors of EU membership and to vote against it, and that Partnership Rebah.
Remarkable logic, La Redoute.
Daphne, prosit!
I am speechless. This is truly unbeleivable.

These guys planted false evidence in the case of Pawlu Busuttil, so they are capable of doing anything.
And as Joseph said today, he throws the shit and the press is expected to chase it.
With the Pietru Pawl Busuttil case in 1986 and Toni Abela now saying he put pressure on a (Labour) policeman not to proceed in a particular case, should we be surprised at all?
Did he actually say that?
Yes Jozef, in living colour nonetheless.
We saw him, he said it.
Even were these emails not forged, anyone seeking kickbacks will exaggerate his contacts with decision-makers.
What George Farrugia said in an email is not proof that he actually met a Minister and talked about the matter he’s discussing in the email.
This is what he would be trying to impress upon the recipient, not what actually happened.
One observation – the Malta Today version appears to have been composed of two different printouts, probably pasted together in a hurry.
The top and bottom halves of the email have slightly different alignments.
There is no way of knowing what was removed and how the existing stuff was rearranged, but I would think it’s a safe bet that the email was significantly doctored.
The Times/Facebook version I mean.
At this point I wonder which one is the original and which one is the retyped version.
[Daphne – Why do you assume that there actually is an original?]
Because Joseph said so, so it must be true.
Well, people applauded Hitler and Mussolini. And some still mourn Gaddafi.
It would seem to be a reasonable assumption. Why bother re-typing a forged email twice?
I’m not necessarily implying that there was an original bona-fide email, mind you. I’m just pointing out that one must have been a re-typed copy of the other, possibly by a different, possibly unrelated person.
Now if I’m right and it is the Facebook version that came first into being, then it could very well have been Maltatoday themselves who retyped it, possibly in an attempt to mask the tampering.
But let’s assume that there is an original email. Why would the leak bother to physically cut it into sections and stick it back together again before leaking it? Obviously he would do that to somehow change the meaning, probably make it sound more incriminating.
This would have been done by someone who is either not tech savvy enough to edit (or recreate) a digital copy of the email or who had obtained a hard-copy of the email and did not have the time or resources to retype it neatly into a word processor and rearrange it there.
@La Redoute
Hope you’re kidding. I’d rather shave my head and join the pope in exile than vote Labour.
When Dr. Joseph Muscat’s emails to the RTK journalist were leaked, the Labour Party and the leader himself tried to make a lot of noise on the provenance of these emails instead of apologising for the content.
Who is questioning the provenance of the emails now?
Who is checking for the authenticity of these emails?
Any corrupt businessman could claim to overseas companies that he can influence ministers, especially when those overseas companies know little about Malta except that it is located between Tunis and Sicily.
He could play his hand and get the commission without any influence having being actually been made.
Is there any incriminating email originating from Austin Gatt?
On the other hand, having voice recordings of persons admitting to trying to influence the course of justice and the awarding of contracts leads one to suspect without almost any doubt that the person concerned is guilty.
Daphne, you’re a star.
Thank you.
I submitted a comment to the timesofmalta website informing them that it has been shown that the emails are forged and asking them to investigate the source of their email.
Needless to say they didn’t post my comment, but immediately changed the caption on the article to read:
“A verbatim replica of an e- mail circulated yesterday on Facebook, in which rogue oil dealer George Farrugia refers to meetings with “the minister”. ”
This is really serious.
The Times is now fabricating news and passing it off as the genuine article (if there ever was one).
When they get caught, they then call it a “verbatim replica”.
That means the story is that a fake email is being circulated on Facebook. They forget to change their headline and story too.
Mamma Mia, dik vera sahhara.

Thank God there is an alternative – The Malta Independent. Daphne, you realised long before us which is the best option.
Here is a clarification by a Times representative during this afternoon’s press conference:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byTe3v-1cCw#t=07m37s
[Daphne – It’s not quite a clarification. I discussed the matter with Mark Micallef (the journalist speaking here). A replica is a facsimile or scan, not retyped text on a reformatted pseudo-email. If I retype a letter you send me, that is not a replica. The word ‘replica’ covers not only the text, but the THING as an integral whole. The use of the word ‘replica’ here was doubly misleading because the ‘retyped text’ was presented in the format of an actual email without any indication that the email formatting was fake. Nor was there any indication that any text had been left out because it couldn’t be read/wasn’t shown, even though it was, which is also misleading. The correct journalist practice, when copying text for a news report is to indicate where text is missing or illegible, like this [MISSING TEXT] or [ILLEGIBLE TEXT]. This reporting tactic is unfair to readers and to the people involved, but above all to readers.]
And here’s Austin Gatt assuming that MT’s version is the ‘incorrect’ one, despite various factors suggesting otherwise:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byTe3v-1cCw#t=11m28s
[Daphne – I think they’re both fraudulent, in different ways.]
It is becoming more and more obvious that this is an attempted frame up on Austin Gatt.
It reminds me of the frame up on Pietru Pawl Busuttil.
What happened yesterday at university and now this, simply shows that the Labour Party has not changed.
If the Labour Party or Malta Labour Party or Joseph’s movement (call it what you want) is elected to government, we will be back to the golden 70s and 80s. No doubt about that.
So it’s a frame-up because The Times threw all journalistic practices down the drain? Right.
Who says Malta Today didn’t do likewise? They’ve been doing it for years.
If you can forge a Picasso and a Vuitton handbag, you can forge an email.
The only ‘true original’ email comes straight out of the server.
Declaring in an email that you have met the president/the minister/the pope does not make it true.
If it is accompanied with documented evidence, photos, recordings, etc then it is fact.
If you can forge a smile, a movement, and a roadmap, you can forge many emails.
Labour’s intention is to waste Austin’s energy on this matter, so that he can’t concentrate on other things.
I agree perfectly with this view. They are trying to distract him from the electoral strategy.
What I could not understand was the behaviour of Gino Cauchi on TVHemm this evening. He was all the time acting like an idiot. You don’t go to TVHemm to face Austin Gatt and keep making gestures like an idiot.
In my opinion, Gino Cauchi’s body language betrayed a guilty conscience.
While Austin Gatt was speaking to him, he constantly looked straight into his eyes. Gino, on the otherhand, could not look at Austin and either looked downwards or turned his gaze elsewhere.
To whom was the mail forwarded? informe?
The criminal always returns to the scene of the crime. Now who could this Kenneth Williams be? Some time ago Mary Mifsud used to write in the same style and vein. Not to mention Cesco Luigi and Eve Asciak.
No prizes for the right answer.

For all MLP apologists, if you are so convinced of guilt on the part of a Minister just by reading this email, then you have harder damning evidence no one else.
If you do and are not going to the police, by law you are an accessory because you are hiding evidence that may bring alleged fraudsters to justice.
If you don’t have the info, you need to wait like other rational people

Jaqaw ma thallasx taxxa int?????
Seems that both emails are forged.
The true first name of the counterparty with whom George Farrugia was dealing is spelled with one “t” – Mathieu Rouquie.
The same applies to the email address. Could George Farrugia have sent emails to the wrong name at a company like Total? Don’t think so.
Looks like both emails were doctored by someone who thinks along the lines of how we spell the name “Matthew” with a double “t.”
