A\u0121\u0121ornata: 10:45 am bit-twe\u0121iba ta’ Kevin Deguara<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ninsab infurmat li l-Pulizija g\u0127amlu rejd fl-uffi\u010b\u010bji u fir-residenza tal-avukat Kevin Deguara, wie\u0127ed mis-s\u0127ab ta’ DF advocates <\/a>kif ukoll wie\u0127ed mill-azzjonisti tal-pro\u0121ett Shoreline fi Smart City.<\/p>\n

Hu mifhum li dawn ir-rejds saru b’rabta mal-investigazzjonijiet u mal-inkjesta ma\u0121isterjali li qed ise\u0127\u0127u b\u0127alissa dwar allegazzjonijiet ta’ korruzzjoni u ta’ reati o\u0127ra konnessi mal-privatizzazzjoni favur il-VGH ta’ tliet sptarijiet pubbli\u010bi. Il-Pulizija \u0127adet azzjoni fuq ordni tal-Ma\u0121istrat inkwirenti.<\/p>\n

L-inkjesta ma\u0121isterjali kienet ing\u0127atat bidu f’Lulju 2019 wara li Qorti laqg\u0127et it-talba ta’ Repubblika.<\/a> Ir-rikors ta’ Repubblika sar f’Mejju ta’ dik is-sena u fih \u0121ie allegat li l-Ministri Edward Scicluna, Chris Cardona u Konrad Mizzi kienu ffavorew lill-VGH fil-pro\u010bess tal-g\u0127a\u017cla. Ebda wie\u0127ed minn dawn g\u0127adhom fil-kariga ministri tal-Gvern. Edward Scicluna n\u0127atar gvernatur tal-Bank \u010aentrali filwaqt li Cardona u Mizzi t\u0127allew barra mill-kabinett hekk kif Robert Abela sar Prim Ministru.<\/p>\n

Hu mag\u0127ruf li Kevin Deguara u d-ditta legali tieg\u0127u huma qrib ta’ Keith Schembri u tan-negozju tieg\u0127u. Sorsi infurmati jxebbhu lil Kevin Deguara u lid-ditta legali tieg\u0127u mad-ditta ta’ Brian Tonna u Nexia BT, u jissemma’ b’mod jew ie\u0127or f’numru ta’ pro\u0121etti kontroversjali tal-gvern skreditat ta’ Joseph Muscat.<\/p>\n

Dan l-avukat kien konsulent tas-Sadeen Group fejn g\u0127andha x’taqsam l-American University of Malta<\/em><\/a> u jirrappre\u017centa lid-diretturi ta’ Pilatus Bank<\/em> fil-kaw\u017ca li dawn qed jag\u0127mlu biex jing\u0127ataw kumpens mill-gvern wara li dan ordna l-g\u0127eluq tal-Bank.<\/p>\n

Huwa wkoll il-konsulent tad-Dizz Group ta’ Karl u Diane Izzo, \u0127bieb intimi ta’ Joseph Muscat.<\/a><\/p>\n

Fl-2018 Stephen Carter, eks sie\u0127eb ta’ Kevin Deguara fil-pro\u0121ett Shoreline, kien \u0121ie mixli b’\u0127asil tal-flus. Kevin Deguara jg\u0127id li qatt ma kellu ebda konnessjoni ma’ Stephen Carter wara li \u0127ar\u0121et fil-bera\u0127 l-a\u0127bar li l-Pulizija \u0127adet din l-azzjoni. Il-pro\u0121ett Shoreline huwa \u017cvilupp kbir li, fl-2007, kien \u0121ie identifikat g\u0127all-u\u017cu ta’ IT business park. Is-sit kien \u0121ie allokat g\u0127al \u017cvilupp fi\u017c-\u017cmien li matulu Keith Schembri kien direttur ma\u0127tur mill-gvern tal-kumpannija li tmexxi Smart City.<\/p>\n

Jien tlabt lil Kevin Deguara biex jag\u0127tini l-kummenti tieg\u0127u, i\u017cda bqajt ma r\u010bevejt ebda twe\u0121iba sal-\u0127in li xxandar dan l-artiklu.<\/p>\n

A\u0121\u0121ornata: 10.45 am: ir-risposta ta’ Kevin Deguara.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Din hija r-risposta ta’ Kevin Deguara g\u0127all-mistoqsijiet li bg\u0127attlu dalg\u0127odu. Se n\u0127alli t-twe\u0121iba bl-Ingli\u017c kif bag\u0127athieli hu.<\/p>\n

“First of all may I point out that the Magisterial Inquiry and related investigations are per se secret and confidential but it would seem that information in this regard has been leaked to third parties including the press. This is very serious in that it can it can interfere and mislead investigations. I will therefore have to immediately inform the inquiring magistrate of this communication.<\/em><\/p>\n

“At the outset may I point out that my and my firm\u2019s links to VGH were purely and simply that of having acted as legal advisors for the companies forming part of VGH. A number of other lawyers and reputable firms (both legal and financial) were also in some way or another involved in the Hospitals Concession projects, acting for either VGH or Government.<\/em><\/p>\n

“It would seem that there exists a Magisterial Inquiry in connection with VGH and as many others, including other firms, I was asked by the police to provide files and information in relation to VGH. This includes information which is covered and protected by lawyer-client privilege.<\/em><\/p>\n

“May I point for the avoidance out that this Magisterial Inquiry does not relate nor involve me personally nor my firm and any inference to this effect is strongly opposed and I hereby reserve the right to defend my interest and that of my firm by inter alia taking those actions permitted at law against those who will attempt to tarnish my, our my firm\u2019s reputation.<\/em><\/p>\n

“We are also communicating the above to the Chamber of Advocates for their intervention.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
