Commission for the Disabled asks police to seize Mrs Luciano Busuttil’s ‘disabled parking’ badge and investigate

Published: January 27, 2017 at 10:17pm

The National Commission for the Disabled has reported Labour MP Luciano Busuttil and his wife Dorothy to the police for abusive possession of a ‘blue badge’ which entitles the holder to park in spaces reserved for the disabled. The police have been requested to seize the badge and to investigate the matter.

Mrs Busuttil has used the ‘disabled parking’ badge for four years, having acquired it through unclear means in 2013, supposedly after a car accident. She has no signs of any disability at all, still less the severely impaired mobility which is the primary requirement for entitlement to use a disabled parking bay. Mrs Busuttil can walk normally and is never seen without a pair of high heels, which she wears even to the office, when out with her children, and for daily errands.
