Fid-dawl tal-provi li ressqet kontra Keith Schembri dwar is-serqa tal-Progress Press<\/em>, il-Pulizija flimkien ma’ istituzzjonijiet o\u0127rajn b\u0127an- National Audit Office<\/em> g\u0127andhom jist\u0127arr\u0121u l-kuntratt tal-Crane Currency.<\/em><\/p>\n

Keith Schembri kien il-factotum u l-per\u010bimes wara dan il-kuntratt.<\/p>\n

Infakkar li l-Progress Press,<\/em> li hi wa\u0127da mill-kumpanniji sidien tat-Times of Malta<\/em>, kien irnexxielha takkwista sussidju mill-Malta Enterprise<\/em> biex setg\u0127et tiffinanzja tag\u0127mir \u0121did tal-istampar. Keith Schembri kien forna t-tag\u0127mir u, fuq il-profitt normali li g\u0127amel, \u017cied ammont ie\u0127or biex ma je\u0127ilx taxxa f’Malta, liema ammont li huwa mbag\u0127ad bewwe\u0121 ‘il barra f’kumpanniji barranin li kellu ma’ sie\u0127bu u ma’ \u017cew\u0121 mexxejja tal-Progress Press<\/em> li kien irnexxielu jxa\u0127\u0127am.<\/p>\n

Kif kienet \u0121iet Malta l-Crane Currency<\/em>?<\/p>\n

Joseph Muscat kien semma’ lill-Crane<\/em> g\u0127all-ewwel darba f’jum l-Indipendenza 2016. Dakinhar kien f’Boston waqt \u017cjara lill-uffi\u010b\u010bji tal-kumpannija u kien ipparaguna l-kobor tal-investiment ma’ dak tal-STMicroelectronics<\/em>. Dakinhar Joseph Muscat seta’ kien xi ftit e\u010b\u010bitat hu u jitkellem fil-presenza tal-uffi\u010bjal e\u017cekuttiv ewlieni tal-Crane<\/em> Stephen Defalco li, minn na\u0127a tieg\u0127u, g\u0127adda biex \u201cfa\u0127\u0127ar lin-negozjaturi Maltin u sejj\u0127ilhom b\u0127ala fost l-aktar negozjaturi professjonali li qatt \u0127adem mag\u0127hom\u201d.<\/p>\n

Meta ntqal dan id-diskors, faqqg\u0127et l-ewwel sajjetta.<\/p>\n

Xahrejn wara l-\u0121urnalist tat-Times of Malta<\/em> Ivan Camilleri xandar id-dettalji ta’ dak li l-gvern Malti kien impenja ru\u0127u li jag\u0127ti lil Crane<\/em> Currency<\/em> kemm il-darba dawn ja\u010b\u010bettaw li jift\u0127u f’Malta. <\/a>Il-gvern kien intrabat mhux biss li j\u0127allas \u20ac27 miljun biex jibni l-fabbrika tal-Crane<\/em> f’\u0126al Far, i\u017cda ntrabat ukoll li jiggarantixxi 75% ta’ self ta’ \u20ac72 miljun biex jit\u0127allas l-investiment tal-gvern fit-tag\u0127mir kompri\u017c ix-xiri tat-tag\u0127mir tal-istampar li kellhom ji\u0121u forniti minn Keith Schembri. Pjan li kien jixba\u0127 dak li bis-sa\u0127\u0127a tieg\u0127u forna t-tag\u0127mir lill-Progress Press.<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u017cda dak i\u017c-\u017cmien, Keith Schembri ma kienx sempli\u010bi negozjant privat. Kien ukoll il-kap tan-“negozjaturi Maltin” li tant kienu \u0121ew imfa\u0127\u0127ra mill-uffi\u010bjali ewlieni tal-Crane Currency.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Is-sajjetti issa komplew ifaqqg\u0127u bil-kbir. F’Settembru tal-Crane<\/em> \u0127abbru li kien bi \u0127siebhom jinvestu \u20ac100 miljun f’Malta. U malli wasal Di\u010bembru sirna nafu li l-poplu Malti kien ser jo\u0127ro\u0121 \u20ac80 miljun u l-bilan\u010b kien ser ji\u0121i misluf mill-Bank of Valletta<\/em> lil tal-Crane.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ammont sostanzjali mit-\u20ac72 miljun f’investment sab ru\u0127u f’fatturi ma\u0127ru\u0121in min-negozji ta’ Keith Schembri f’Malta. Dan kien i\u017c-\u017cmien li matulu Joseph Muscat f’Boston kien sejja\u0127 lil Keith Schembri b\u0127ala l-“katalista” tan-negozju li ntla\u0127aq qbil dwaru. I\u017cda mbag\u0127ad f’Di\u010bembru, Joseph Muscat bidel id-diska u stqarr li Keith Schembri ma kellu ebda rwol fin-negozjati – kien biss “\u0127affef” in-negozju.<\/p>\n

Tal-Crane Currency<\/em> kienu g\u0127amlu akkwist tajjeb \u0127afna. Ma kienu ser jo\u0127or\u0121u minn buthom kwa\u017ci xejn u akkwistaw kumpless modern. Tant marru tajjeb li s-sidien tal-Crane Currency<\/em> ftehmu li jbieg\u0127u n-negozju tag\u0127hom lil sidien \u0121odda g\u0127all-prezz ta’ $800 miljun. Ivan Camilleri tat-Times of Malta <\/em>kien ikkwota g\u0127ejjun li stqarrew li \u201cil-kumpless f’Malta kien attrazzjoni li wassal g\u0127all-bejgh tal-impjant\u201d.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u010aertament kien attrazzjoni: fabbrika \u0121dida fjamanta, qlieg\u0127 qawwi, investiment u riskju minimu. X’ma ja\u0127tfuhiex l-offerta tal-gvern!<\/p>\n

Dak i\u017c-\u017cmien sa\u0127ansitra anki Alfred Sant kien stag\u0127\u0121eb bil-\u0121enero\u017cit\u00e0 tal-gvern Malti ma’ tal-Crane Currency<\/em>. \u201cX’inhu ji\u0121ri?\u201d kien staqsa Alfred Sant. \u201cSabiex nippromwovu l-industriji \u0121odda f’Malta b\u0127ala membru tal-Unjoni Ewropea, hemm g\u0127alfejn noqg\u0127odu nag\u0127tu s-“sussidji” lill-investituri barranin li huma daqshekk g\u0127oljin?\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Dak i\u017c-\u017cmien Alfred Sant kien isserva b’din l-istorja biex jipprova ji\u0121\u0121ustifika l-politika skaduta tieg\u0127u kontra l-Unjoni Ewropea. I\u017cda, fil-fatt, li tg\u0127odd hi l-osservazzjoni li kien g\u0127adda fis-sens li s-sussidji tal-gvern kienu \u0121eneru\u017ci wisq mal-Crane Currency<\/em>. Deherlu li sussidji b\u0127al dawn xejn ma jag\u0127mlu sens. Jekk kien xamm xi korruzzjoni, baqa’ ma\u00a0 ma qal xejn.<\/p>\n

Ma nag\u0127mlux mod li dan kien parti minn pjan biex ji\u0121i ffrodat il-gvern (u l-Malta Enterprise<\/em>) u forsi anki l-Bank of Valletta<\/em> sabiex b’hekk Keith Schembri jkun jista’ jkompli jimla’ l-bwiet tieg\u0127u?<\/p>\n

Fid-dawl ta’ dak li sirna nafu dwar is-serqa tal-Progress Press<\/em> u l-ftit li nafu dwar il-Crane Currency<\/em>, din il-mistoqsija je\u0127tie\u0121 li ssir. U, m’g\u0127andniex xi ng\u0127idu, l-fattur komuni huwa keith Schembri.<\/p>\n

U mhux Keith Schembri biss.<\/p>\n

Jista’ jag\u0127ti li ka\u017c li l-Pulizija ma tkunx qed titlef i\u017c-\u017cmien jekk din tibg\u0127at g\u0127al Noel Galea. Sa \u0120unju 2017 dan kien i\u010b-Chief Operations Officer<\/em> tal-Progress Press<\/em>. Kien dan li \u0121ab it-tag\u0127mir tal-istampar biex Keith Schembri seta’ ja\u0127dem u jistag\u0127na.<\/p>\n

Wara li telaq l-impjieg tieg\u0127u minn mal-Progress Press,<\/em> tafu ma’ min mar ja\u0127dem?<\/p>\n
