Another exclusive: Daniel Zammit now on Marco Gaffarena’s payroll as “an accountant”

Marco Gaffarena

Corrupt police inspector Daniel Zammit

I have just received cast-iron information that Daniel Zammit, the corrupt police inspector who was pensioned off from the force just four days after he applied to be boarded out, reportedly on “psychiatric grounds”, was put on Marco Gaffarena’s office payroll two or three days ago as “an accountant”.

Merely days after being pensioned off from the police force a few weeks ago as being unfit for police duties, Zammit moved into a 60,000-euro-a-year job with Enemalta Corporation’s theft and fraud division.

The situation blew up when the Opposition confronted Konrad Mizzi (the Minister responsible for Enemalta) in parliament about the matter and that was the end of Daniel Zammit’s short-lived sinecure.

Intense media coverage then made it difficult for him to be given a job elsewhere on the state payroll, and completely impossible when further media scrutiny began to uncover the extent of Zammit’s corrupt involvements, in some cases along with his father and brother, also senior policemen.

The most significant of the scandals in which Daniel Zammit is involved is his, his brother’s and both parents’ involvement in two companies with Joe Gaffarena, at a time when he was investigating and prosecuting Gaffarena’s son-in-law for murder.

What we have here is a situation in which Marco Gaffarena has now put on his office payroll the former police inspector who, right up until the day he left the force a few weeks ago, was investigating and prosecuting his sister’s husband for murdering that sister’s lover.

Six and a half years after the murder, Marco Gaffarena’s brother-in-law has not yet been placed under a bill of indictment.
