I don't want to spoil your day off. This is a bit like watching a film by Leni Riefenstahl when you're not reviewing it for a university paper. This is Konrad Mizzi speaking to the Labour Party conference when the Panama Papers leaked in 2016. Watch him. Listen to what he says. Watch the reactions. [...]

In case you missed this last night.

No one can say Adrian Delia’s denials are not categorical. He had no communication he knew of with Yorgen Fenech after the revelation in October 2018 that Fenech owned 17 Black, the company lined up to bribe Keith Schembri and Konrad Mizzi. He allowed for the possibility that without him ever seeing it Yorgen Fenech [...]

Thank you for your feedback at the first attempt at a video podcast. Listening to that feedback and how people said they used it, I'm trying uploading an audio file now with this new article. Let me know if this is better. https://youtu.be/FNgT30sW2hU The tragedy of our times We’ve had low points before though it’s [...]

The government removed Aaron Mifsud Bonnici from the post of board secretary of Enemalta. His position became untenable after news of the Montenegro wind-farm scandal emerged. Aaron Mifsud Bonnici negotiated the Montenegro deal where Enemalta plc paid three times what the company it purchased was worth just 18 days earlier. Aaron Mifsud Bonnici is Konrad [...]

This article includes my comments on the now notorious Wind Park Project in Montenegro together with my comments. I also list questions addressed to the investigators into what I will refer to as the Montenegro Deal. Timeline and Facts The audited financial statements of Fersa Renovables for the financial year ended 31 December 2016, disclose [...]

Konrad Mizzi’s personal attorney Aaron Mifsud Bonnici has been removed from the Enemalta plc board of directors. The news is carried in a notice in the Government Gazette. Aaron Mifsud Bonnici has served as Board Secretary since Konrad Mizzi was minister responsible for Enemalta , before Mizzi’s symbolic relegation to the status of “minister without [...]

Joe Brincat wants the Ombudsman to resign. And if the Ombudsman doesn’t, Joe Brincat wants street marches in protest against him. As they often like to say about anyone who disagrees with them, Joe Brincat is a nobody. But he’s writing this on the official media of the Labour Party. An op-ed on Pravda is [...]

We're going to try something new today. This would be a 'LONG READ' and it still is if you prefer. The script together with relevant links and pictures is beneath. But I've read it for you and if you prefer to listen to this analysis, rather than read it yourself, try out this video and [...]

Papers filed in Montenegro to register Enemalta’s purchase of the Mozura wind farm include a copy of the signed share purchase agreement that allowed Enemalta to become the full owner of Mozura Wind Park, the company that owns the Montenegrin wind farm at the centre of an ongoing scandal. November 2019: Joseph Muscat looks [...]

Filed by someone known to me: Much has been written about the Mozura Wind Park deal through which Enemalta purchased the project from a Dubai based company called Cidifex for the price of €10.3 million, 18 days after Cidifex had purchased the project for €2.9 million with a resultant profit of € 7.4 million. When [...]

It was one of Daphne Caruana Galizia’s curtain raisers. One of many that she raised in the last year of her life and work interrupted by the violent death visited upon her by people who did not want one or more of those curtains raised. 6 November, 2016: Daphne publishes one of those blog posts. [...]

Disciples of political parties may be easily steered in the direction the party leadership wants them, like children hopping and skipping behind the Pied Piper. But you can jerk them around in opposite directions so many times before the disorientation kicks in and rumblings of discontent emerge. I sometimes think back to May Day 2018, [...]

Readership of this website is going strong. The site is visited 20,000 times a day which is not bad for a largely one-man show. Last month, 29,000 people visited Truth Be Told for the first time.  In the time the website has been around we published more than 3,900 articles. Over 1,200 of them have [...]

For a second there you may have wondered why the chairman of the Manoel Theatre Board needed to testify at the inquiry into the killing of Daphne Caruana Galizia. But this state-sponsored murder was committed on all fronts and evidence from an unlikely quarter was heard today. Mario Philip Azzopardi, the Doktor Mengele of Malta’s [...]

Most of us can say with some certainty where they were the moment they heard Daphne Caruana Galizia was killed. They remember how they found out, who they were with, what they did right away. Many of us were deeply affected by the news. You would expect Keith Schembri to be affected and to have [...]

Updated to include a video of Jason Azzopardi's speech in Parliament. I sometimes get asked by the last remaining advocates for the lost cause of Joseph Muscat, where I was when something or other happened before 2013. Which is a bit of a pointless question really because everyone knows the answer to that. In case [...]

Watch this video taken inside the Labour Party's headquarters the day Konrad Mizzi was feted as the party's new Deputy Leader. Wait for the first question asked to him. This is February 2016. They made him Deputy Leader when they already knew what they knew yesterday when they fired him. The Labour Party still needs [...]

As a lawyer I’ve always been convinced in the rule of law, so having a strong rule of law comes natural for me. We will close the chapter on rule of law with success, not just by dealing with our current challenges, but also by being a leading example for other countries. - Robert Abela [...]
