Il-gvern qed jinqeda’ b’George Tabone \u201ctal-Gram\u201d biex imexxi ‘l quddiem l-argument politiku favur it-tne\u0127\u0127ija tal-iffri\u017car temporanju tal-\u0121id f’ka\u017cijiet ta’ \u0127asil ta’ flejjes ma\u0127mu\u0121in. Isimg\u0127uh jitkellem <\/a>b’ton ta’ qsim il-qalb <\/a>f’intervista mat-Times of Malta<\/em> li matulha ddeskrieva t-tbatija li g\u0127adda minnha wara li \u0121idu kien \u0121ie ffri\u017cat temporanjament sakemm kien \u0121ie liberat mill-qorti tal-akku\u017ci kriminali li n\u0121ibu kontrih.<\/a><\/p>\n

Il-provi kienu \u0121ew mg\u0127arbla minn \u017cew\u0121 qrati u spi\u010b\u010ba biex \u0121ie liberat mill-Im\u0127allef Giovanni Grixti fil-Qorti tal-Appell. Mhux bi \u0127siebni nid\u0127ol fil-mertu tal-ka\u017c, li ng\u0127arbel dak li kienu xehdu x-xhieda jew b’xi mod nalludi li seta’ kien \u0127ati tal-akku\u017ci li kienu n\u0121ibu kontrih. \u0126alliel xehed li kien bieg\u0127 deheb misruq lil George Tabone li huwa sid ta’ negozju mag\u0127ruf Gram li jinnegozja d-deheb. Il-\u0127alliel xehed dwar il-laqg\u0127at li qal li kien ikollu ma’ Tabone u kien iddeskriva fid-dettall l-g\u0127amla nterna tal-uffi\u010b\u010bji ta’ Tabone.<\/p>\n

Id-deheb misruq li suppost kien xtara Tabone qatt ma nstab. M’g\u0127andniex xi ng\u0127idu, forn ja\u0127raq jista’ jdewweb u jibdel il-forma u jdewweb kull bi\u010b\u010ba deheb u l-istess deheb jista’ jing\u0127ata forma totalment \u0121dida. I\u017cda l-qorti kienet illiberat lil Tabone g\u0127ar-ra\u0121uni li l-o\u0121\u0121etti tad-deheb li kien tkellem dwarhom il-vittma tas-serq ma kienux instabu fil-pussess tieg\u0127u.<\/p>\n

Sakemm inqatg\u0127et is-sentenza finali, George Tabone stqarr li n-negozju tieg\u0127u \u0127a daqqa ta’ \u0127arta u li bis-sa\u0127\u0127a ta’ dan kienu gawdew il-kompetituri tieg\u0127u. Madankollu xorta wa\u0127da \u017camm rabta man-negozju bis-sa\u0127\u0127a tal-fatt li s-sidien il-\u0121odda tan-negozju tieg\u0127u kienu qabbduh biex jag\u0127milha ta’ konsulent u fl-istess waqt t\u0127alla jaqla’ mi\u017cerja ta’ paga ta’ \u20ac13,000 fis-sena, li hi l-og\u0127la paga li jista’ jaqla’ kull min ikun su\u0121\u0121ett g\u0127all-iffri\u017car temporanju ta’ \u0121idu. Il-li\u0121i l-\u0121dida ser tibdel dan kollu u Tabone jsostni li l-li\u0121i kif inhi llum tikser id-drittijiet fundamentali tieg\u0127u g\u0127aliex, sakemm jibqa’ pre\u017cunt inno\u010benti, g\u0127andu jit\u0127alla jaqla’ flus kemm ikun jifla\u0127.<\/p>\n

George Tabone stqarr ukoll li kien messu t\u0127alla jgawdi flejjes li kien “ing\u0127ata” (minn, ng\u0127idu a\u0127na, \u0127bieb jew membri tal-familja) u li kien messu t\u0127alla jkompli jmexxi n-negozju le\u0121ittimu tieg\u0127u sakemm inqatg\u0127et is-sentenza.<\/p>\n

Bis-sa\u0127\u0127a tal-emendi proposti fil-li\u0121i, dak hu li ser ise\u0127\u0127. Jekk ti\u0121i applikata l-li\u0121i l-\u0121dida fil-konfront ta’ George Tabone, l-gvern ikun jista’ jitlob l-iffri\u017car ta’ kemm jiswa’ d-deheb misruq li allegatament kien xtara. Fi kliem ie\u0127or, il-gvern ikun qisu qed jaqfillu kexxun wie\u0127ed fin-negozju tieg\u0127u u fl-istess waqt i\u0127alli l-kxaxen l-o\u0127rajn miftu\u0127in bera\u0127 biex b’hekk ikun jista’ jkompli jinnegozja b\u0127allikieku ma’ \u0121ara’ xejn.<\/p>\n

G\u0127all-mument, ejjew ninsew lil George Tabone. Lil dan semmejtu g\u0127aliex, b\u0127al dawk li kull sena j\u0127ajjru lin-nies jag\u0127tu l-flus g\u0127all-Istrina, g\u0127a\u017cel li jiddefendi l-li\u0121i li qed jipproponi l-gvern.<\/p>\n

Kif tista\u2019 ma \u010b\u010bempilx lil Jonathan Attard u tg\u0127idlu jag\u0127tih midalja lil George Tabone?<\/p>\n

A\u0127sbu ftit f’dak in-negozjant li tg\u0127idx x’\u0127ila g\u0127andu li j\u0127ajjar lin-nies biex tixtri d-deheb ming\u0127andu g\u0127ar-ra\u0121uni li jbieg\u0127 deheb bi prezz ir\u0127as minn dak tal-kompetituri tieg\u0127u. Kemm il-darba smajna b’negozjanti b\u0127al dawn li \u0127afna drabi ssibhom jimir\u0127u bir-riklami tag\u0127hom fuq \u010berti stazzjonijiet tal-televi\u017cjoni qishom xi artisti.<\/p>\n

Id-deheb li jkollhom dawn it-talin dejjem jinbieg\u0127 xi ftit or\u0127os mid-deheb li jinxtara’ minn bnadi o\u0127rajn. U dan id-deheb ikun xi ftit or\u0127os g\u0127aliex – tehmi\u017ca ‘l hawn u lil hinn – jekk fl-istess waqt ikollok il-\u0127ila li tixtri o\u0121\u0121ett ie\u0127or jew o\u0121\u0121etti o\u0127rajn, tkun tista’ t\u0127allas g\u0127al dawn l-o\u0121\u0121etti fi flus kontanti u tkun tista’ tiffranka l-\u0127las tal-VAT. G\u0127aldaqstant ting\u0127ata ri\u010bevuta g\u0127ax-xiri ta’ o\u0121\u0121ett wie\u0127ed. G\u0127all-o\u0121\u0121etti l-o\u0127rajn ting\u0127ata skont ta’ 20% u ma ting\u0127atax ri\u010bevuta. U jekk ikun je\u0127tie\u0121lek tirritorna xi o\u0121\u0121ett li ma jkollokx ri\u010bevuta g\u0127alih, ma jkollokx g\u0127alfejn t\u0127abbel rasek.<\/p>\n

Tafu g\u0127aliex dawn it-talin g\u0127andhom il-\u0127ila li jbieg\u0127u deheb bl-ir\u0127is? E\u017catt b\u0127all-kompetituri tag\u0127hom, dawn l-imberkin negozjanti jixtru d-deheb ming\u0127and in-nies u ming\u0127and fornituri regolari u jo\u0127or\u0121u wkoll poloz ta’ assikurazzjoni fuq kull fornitura.<\/p>\n

I\u017cda l-istorja ma tintemmx hawn. Il-\u0127allelin jafu li deheb misruq jista’ jinbieg\u0127 b’nofs il-prezz tas-suq lil negozjant mag\u0127ruf. U n-negozjant g\u0127andu l-\u0127ila li j\u0127allas fi flus kontanti – il-kxaxen tieg\u0127u x’aktarx ikunu mimlijin karti tal-flus g\u0127aliex bosta huma dawk li jippreferu j\u0127allsu fi flus kontanti biex jiffrankaw \u0127las ta’ VAT. U ftit wara li jit\u0127allas il-fornitur, id-deheb misruq ikun di\u0121\u00e0 ddewweb u mog\u0127ti forma differenti. L-g\u0127ada stess dan id-deheb ikun di\u0121\u00e0 dda\u0127\u0127al fil-vetrina tal-\u0127anut espost g\u0127all-bejg\u0127 bi prezz kompetittiv.<\/p>\n

Nag\u0127milha \u010bara li mhux kull o\u0121\u0121ett tad-deheb li jbieg\u0127u dawn it-talin ikun misruq. Il-bi\u010b\u010ba l-kbira ta’ dawn l-o\u0121\u0121etti ma jkunux misruqin. I\u017cda xi ftit minnu jkun deheb misruq li jing\u0127ata forma \u0121dida u li jinbieg\u0127 bi prezz li jkun ir\u0127as minn dak tas-suq. Prezz li naturalment jattira x-xerrejja li jkunu lesti li j\u0127allsu bi flus kontanti g\u0127al negozju li g\u0127alih ma tin\u0127ari\u0121x ri\u010bevuta.<\/p>\n

Din m’hi xejn \u0127lief kriminalit\u00e0 organizzata.<\/p>\n

“Negozjant” ikun jista’ ji\u017cgura g\u0127alih monopolju ekonomiku bis-sa\u0127\u0127a tal-vjolenza u ta’ forom o\u0127ra ta’ pressjoni. F’ka\u017cijiet b\u0127al dawn, tkun qed issir pressjoni fuq is-suq bis-sa\u0127\u0127a tal-pre\u017cenza ta’ deheb li jinbieg\u0127 bi prezz ir\u0127is. L-istess \u0127a\u0121a tista’ sse\u0127\u0127 fil-qasam tas-sajd g\u0127at-tonn, fil-qasam tal-im\u0127atri u fil-qasam tal-bini ta’ appartamenti li ma jkunux ta’ lussu. L-organizzazzjoni ti\u0121i mitmug\u0127a minn wara l-kwinti minn kriminali li ma jkunux fehmu e\u017catt kif ta\u0127dem is-sistema. U sadattant, lill-hekk imsejj\u0127a negozjanti er\u0127ilhom jilg\u0127aqu l-pettijiet ta\u017c-\u017craben tal-a\u0121enti tal-infurzar, tar-regolaturi u tal-politi\u010bi u jiffinanzjawlhom il-kapri\u010b\u010bi u l-kampanji elettorali tag\u0127hom biex b’hekk jibqg\u0127u jimir\u0127u dejjem fil-wi\u010b\u010b. Dan kollu jsarraf f’kelma wa\u0127da: MAFJA.<\/p>\n

Kif tista’ qatt i\u0121\u0121ib prova li ikun qed ise\u0127\u0127 dan kollu jekk mhux b’diffikult\u00e0 kbira u – f’pajji\u017cna –\u00a0 ming\u0127ajr il-benefi\u010b\u010bju ta’ li\u0121ijiet li huma me\u0127tie\u0121a biex ikissru dawn l-abbu\u017ci u li jibg\u0127atu l-\u0127abs lil min jabbu\u017ca?<\/p>\n

Fil-qasam tan-negozju tad-deheb, ladarba o\u0121\u0121ett tad-deheb jiddewweb u jing\u0127ata forma differenti, ma tkunx tista’ ssir taf bl-ori\u0121ini tieg\u0127u. G\u0127aldaqstant xhud li, ng\u0127idu a\u0127na, jista’ jkun ukoll bil-vizzju tad-droga u li jammetti li seraq, ser jitwemmen f’awla tal-qorti? F’pajji\u017c \u017cg\u0127ir b\u0127al tag\u0127na qatt nistg\u0127u nag\u0127mlu sting operations<\/em>? Ming\u0127ajr l-g\u0127odda ta’ li\u0121ijiet anti-mafja, l-kundanni mill-qrati huma rari \u0127afna.<\/p>\n

F’Malta g\u0127andna li\u0121ijiet ta’ kontra l-\u0127asil ta’ flus ma\u0127mu\u0121in u dawn – sa dakinhar li ji\u0121u emendati bil-proposti li issa qed jag\u0127mel il-gvern – jistg\u0127u ikunu ta’ inkonvenjent temporanju g\u0127al dawn in-“negozjanti”. G\u0127alkemm il-li\u0121ijiet li g\u0127andna m’humiex \u0127orox bi\u017c\u017cejjed, l-iffri\u017car temporanju tal-\u0121id jista’ jservi biex iwaqqaf jew inaqqas l-effetti tal-abbu\u017ci.<\/p>\n

I\u017cda dan mhux dejjem ikun il-ka\u017c.<\/p>\n

Jekk, qabel l-arrest tieg\u0127u, l-mixli ma jkunx \u0127asibha darbtejn li jinnegozja bis-sa\u0127\u0127a tal-u\u017cu ta’ flus kontanti u ming\u0127ajr audit trail<\/em>, hu minn ewl id-dinja li ebda ffri\u017car temporanju tal-\u0121id ma jista’ j\u017commhom milli jwettqu l-abbu\u017ci. Jekk min jabbu\u017ca jitqabbad b\u0127ala “konsulent” mis-“sidien il-\u0121odda” tan-negozju, x’jista’ j\u017commhom milli jaqsmu l-profitti bejniethom? Jekk, qabel l-arrest tieg\u0127u, l-mixli jkun g\u0127amel u\u017cu mill-\u0127anut tieg\u0127u biex jitg\u0127atta l-g\u0127emil kriminali tieg\u0127u, x’qatt jista’ j\u017commu milli ju\u017ca l-kuntratt ta’ mpjieg tieg\u0127u b\u0127ala konsulent biex jg\u0127atti l-fatt li n-negozju tieg\u0127u fil-fatt baqa’ g\u0127addej normali u dan minkejja l-impo\u017cizzjoni mill-qorti tal-iffri\u017car temporanju tal-\u0121id?<\/p>\n

L-emendi l-\u0121odda fil-li\u0121i ser iwasslu biex ine\u0127\u0127u l-inkonvenjenzi g\u0127all-akku\u017cati u fl-istess waqt ser ixejjnu \u010b-\u010bansijiet li l-qorti ssib xi \u0127tija. Nie\u0127du e\u017cempju: \u0127alliel jinqabad jisraq u mal-pulizija jikxef li kien bieg\u0127 id-deheb misruq lil \u010bertu negozjant. Il-valur tad-deheb misruq jista’ ji\u0121i kalkulat mill-valur tad-deheb misruq li jkun qed ji\u0121i investigat. Il-pulizija t\u0127arrek lin-negozjant fil-qorti u tixlieh li bieg\u0127 o\u0121\u0121etti misruqa lil \u0127addie\u0127or u tin\u0127are\u0121 ordni biex ji\u0121i ffri\u017cat \u0121id tieg\u0127u ekwivalenti fil-valur tad-deheb misruq li suppost intu\u017ca f’dan in-negozju.<\/p>\n

Sadattant, il-mixli jkompli jinnegozja d-deheb misruq li jkun \u0121ie f’idejh il-\u0121img\u0127a ta’ qabel u dak li ser ji\u0121i f’idejh il-\u0121img\u0127a d-die\u0127la. U r-rota tibqa’ ddur. Dan ifisser li, minkejja kollox, il-mixli jibqa’ j\u017comm f’idejh ir-ri\u017corsi\u00a0 u l-g\u0127odda kollha bl-g\u0127an a\u0127\u0127ari li j\u0121ib il-bo\u010b\u010ba tieg\u0127u qrib il-likk. Lill-mafja ma tista’ qatt teg\u0127libha meta jkollok pistola ppuntata lejn rasek. U b’dawn l-emendi ser ni\u017cguraw li l-pistola tibqa’ ppuntata lejn l-irjus.<\/p>\n

Huwa minnu li George Tabone sofra in\u0121ustizzja. Anki li kieku kien \u0127ati tal-akku\u017ci li kienu n\u0121iebu kontrih \u2013 il-qrati di\u0121\u00e0 ddikjaraw li ma kienx \u0127ati – mhux sewwa li kellu jistenna 8 snin biex tinqata’ s-sentenza. U dan it-tul e\u017ca\u0121erat ta’ \u017cmien, fil-fehma tieg\u0127i, jammonta g\u0127al ksur tad-drittijiet fundamentati tieg\u0127u.<\/p>\n

Id-dewmien e\u017ca\u0121erat huwa l-problema. Problema li qed tikser id-drittijiet fundamentali tan-nies. U din hi appuntu l-problema li l-gvern g\u0127andu jsib tarfha.<\/p>\n

I\u017cda ma’ tat-Times of Malta<\/em>, George Tabone ma tkellmix dwar id-dewmien e\u017ca\u0121erat biex jinqatg\u0127u s-sentenzi. Ma qalilhomx li ladarba kien \u0121ie mixli, s-sentenza kien messha nqatg\u0127et fi \u017cmien sena mill-ewwel qorti u fi \u017cmien sena o\u0127ra mill-qorti tal-appell. Li kieku tkellem b’dan il-mod, kont inkun l-ewwel wie\u0127ed li naqbel mieg\u0127u.<\/p>\n

I\u017cda George Tabone g\u0127a\u017cel li jkun il-pappagall tal-gvern. Minflok isewwi l-kwistjoni tat-tul e\u017ca\u0121erat li qed jittie\u0127ed biex jinqatg\u0127u l-kaw\u017ci, l-gvern qed ji\u0121i jaqa’ u jqum minn dan kollu u ser ji\u017cgura li jekk negozjant ibieg\u0127 f’deheb misruq, m’hu ser ikun hemm xejn li jkun jista’ j\u017commu milli jkompli qisu mhux hu bin-negozju illegali tieg\u0127u.<\/p>\n
