Important comment: Silvio Scerri’s alleged murder contract and Inspector Chris Pullicino
Silvio Scerri and his boss Manuel Mallia with the police officers who are meant to be investigating Scerri for allegedly contracting a man’s murder
Silvio Scerri, the Police Minister’s chief of staff, is under investigation for allegedly contracting or trying to contract the murder of a love rival
Manuel Mallia, the criminal defence lawyer who became Police Minister and who knowingly made a man under investigation for trying to contract a murder his chief of staff
Scott Dixon, the Scottish boxer for whom the mother of Silvio Scerri’s two children left him, and whose murder Scerri allegedly tried to contract
Stephanie Chircop, who has two children by Silvio Scerri, and who then left him for Scott Dixon. When she filed a report against Scerri, she was locked in a cell and held overnight for ‘interrogation’. When she filed a report against him for assaulting her, the high-ranking police officer who pressed charges was transferred to another district.
The prime minister, like his Police Minister, is comfortable with this sort of behaviour as his lionising of convicted criminals like Cyrus Engerer, and suspected criminals like John Dalli, shows.
This comment below came in beneath my post about the alleged attempt by the Police Minister’s chief of staff, Silvio Scerri, to contract the murder of boxer Scott Dixon.
It is so important that I couldn’t leave it on the comments board.
——————–
It should not be surprising that Inspector Chris Pullicino is ‘protecting’ his Minister’s Chief of Staff Silvio Scerri.
This so called investigation was totally vitiated and Inspector Pullicino was so biased that he interpreted the events in his own way and ended up arresting Ms Chircop and locking her up at the Floriana police lock up to the delight of Silvio Scerri.
The latter was only questioned in the Inspector’s office and was not detained in a cell. Police records can show this.
Now even though the ‘investigation’ is not yet concluded the inspector is hinting that the report was false. This is highly suspicious because the police never commit themselves to such statements concerning ongoing investigations unless there is some hidden agenda.
If the inspector has reason to believe that the report was false he should prosecute the persons filing the report.
But the truth is that this report was not false and the inspector has no proof to substantiate his claim. He is just trying to cover up for his friend Silvio Scerri. After all he has to show him gratitude for ‘promoting’ him to ‘Officer in Charge’ while waiting to be promoted to the rank of Superintendent.
Way back in 2012 Inspector Chris Pullicino was investigated by the than Police Commissioner John Rizzo on accusations of corruption in connection with a homicide case he was investigating and prosecuting in court.
Mr Rizzo did not have enough proof to charge him and as it was his custom to deal with such situations he ‘punished’ him by taking him off the Homicide Squad.
Following the change in government and Silvio Scerri’s appointment to Chief of Staff at the Ministry for Interior and National Security, Inspector Pullicino was redeployed to the Homicide Squad, as officer in charge.

No wonder Pietru Pawl Zammit left or was asked to leave. From what I heard he is not the type of person to allow Silvio Scerri’s meddling in the Police Force.
[Daphne – Oh please. Peter Paul Zammit was appointed Police Commissioner as a very complicated way of scuppering John Dalli’s prosecution.]
You are crediting Labour with more intelligence than they have. The way I hear it is that Pietru Pawl Zammit was too straight for this lot, and this comes both from his clients and his adversaries.
They made a mistake appointing him as Commissioner not knowing he will not tolerate injustices.
Zammit thought he was asked to move the Police Force into the 21st century not back to the 1980s. I guess he too was taken in by empty promises.
His several ‘mistakes’ – including the infamous catering occasion, and that when he grabbed the journalist’s to stop him from making further questions – do not indicate that Peter Paul Zammit was looking forward to ‘modernising’ the Police Force.
Still less was the decision – even if taken over his head and himself stooping so low as to accept it – for dropping the prepared charges against Dalli a ‘leap forward’ into a 21st century open-style police service.
Frankly, I cannot share your guess that ‘he was taken in by empty promises’.
He was certainly very much acquainted with Labour for years on end before being posted to head the police force – and was definitely very much aware of Labour’s tactics, as well as the reason for his being called to the post.
I – and so many others, I am sure – will certainly never be as apologetic as you are on his behalf.
Labour. Futur li JAQQghadna.
Earlier this year a Nexos lighting infrastructure collapsed causing some severe injury to one of its employees at MCCF. Some might remember that journalists were not allowed in to cover this accident, with police securing the perimeter outside the complex.
Now it seems that neither OHSA were allowed to investigate this accident and the injured Nexos employee is filing a court action against this government agency.

How convenient – Silvio Scerri was appointed chief of staff almost 2 years ago when just before that he was being investigated for appointing a contract killer.
Shades of the removal of Police Commissioner Rizzo just before John Dalli was due to be indicted.
That just about rounds it up nicely. Scerri’s position is clearly untenable, and Minister Mallia should be well aware of this. What’s the leverage, one wonders.
[Daphne – I have no idea, Kevin, but in your position I would talk it over with your brothers-in-law Andy and John Ellul. Those two punks are bound to know.]
Thobb thalltu l-hass mal-bass, Daphne, but your imagination veers towards the latter.
[Daphne – No need to be so touchy about it, Kevin. I wasn’t insulting you, but stating the quite obvious fact that as an ex policeman, with two brothers-in-law who are ex policemen and hangers-on of the Labour Party’s inner circle, you are better placed to acquire that information than I am.]
And you seriously believe I wish to know. I inhabit a different world, Daphne. This here, your blog – your entire small world – is the cyber version of my coffee break and none of my in-laws have anything to do with that.
[Daphne – People don’t inhabit different worlds, Kevin. They inhabit their bodies and take themselves everywhere they go. There is no smaller world than Brussels suburbia, so I don’t know what you’re on about. Let’s stick to the subject in hand, which you know more about than I do.]
I’m not sure about that. After all, I’m told you knew the Mallia household so well you used to change his nappies. Remember? He does.
[Daphne – Is this another 9/11 theory, Kevin? One in which an unborn person changes the nappies of a born one?]
Human Zoo.
any resignations?
Saying Joseph Muscat and Manuel Mallia are comfortable with this sort of behaviour falls a bit short, don’t you think?
Look at them together. They look like two fat, ugly baddies taking a break from shooting at Rinella.
From what emerges in the daily news bulletins the Police Force seems to be in dirtier mire than it was under Labour in the seventies.
They post their cronies in strategic places to gain control, then the cronies return the favour.
It all used to be hushed up by the higher echelons of power. Now they have become so arrogant that they dare the devil and do things overtly in the black and brown shirts style to bully the weak.
The only decent fellow is Manuel Mallia who prefers to hide his hand in his pocket to give refuge to the finger that goes in every pie.
Scandalous.
With all due respect, where is the Opposition in all this?
This isn’t just a case of a minister having some hanky-panky on the side.
It’s a matter of an attempted contracted murder.
Why should the responsibility to bring this filth to the surface lie squarely on the shoulders of an independent blogger?
The government is giving the Opposition enough material to create a national scandal and what is the Opposition doing? Hanging its lower lip and stamping its feet feebly, when it should be screaming from the rooftops.
The sleaziest government we ever had. Not even during Mintoff’s government was there such sleaze.
