The below is a brief interview I had with Vincent Degaetano former Chief Justice, Deputy Attorney General and Judge at the European Court of Human Rights. I asked Vincent Degaetano if Joseph Muscat should be taking a step back in the Daphne Caruana Galizia assassination investigation and he answered Joseph Muscat should be taking "several [...]

There’s nothing we want more right now than to see justice served. But while this spectacle of a collapse plays out before our eyes and we’re all absorbed by this catastrophe can someone answer one simple question: who’s running the country please? If an investor wants a chat with the minister does he call Chris [...]

We need to be thinking soon about what Joseph Muscat knew when. We need to trace back his statements from the last three years to determine his basic complicity in some very grave crimes. Consider the time when Konrad Mizzi had to own up to having a New Zealand trust. The trust was transferred to [...]

If there's someone who knows who did what, that has to be Karl Cini. He seems likely to be at the bottom of the food-chain but he knows most things about most people. He was in Panama at the Mossack Fonseca office just before the March 2013 election laying out the roadmap for his crooked [...]

The prime minister wanted to sound categorical when he said he'll protect no criminals just because their arrest might cause him embarrassment. He was asked if he would be the one to handle a request for immunity from someone willing to testify he was wrong about Keith Schembri and Konrad Mizzi all along, and Daphne [...]

La Sicilia reports that Yorgen Fenech “is not entirely unknown” to Italian authorities. “Quite the contrary”. He was wanted by the mobile squad of Catania’s anti-crime section that has investigated him for some time for match fixing and illegal betting on football matches. The investigation code named “treni del gol” has led to initial criminal [...]

Our technical team has noticed increased activity of bots that suggest the beginnings of a coherent denial of service (DDOS) attack. You may have experienced occasional downtime when this was happening today. We have decided therefore to increase precautions to try to protect the website from a full-scale DDOS attack that could cause the website [...]

That's the stage facing the Auberge de Castille. Join us tonight.

Jean Philippe Chetcuti has lost his appeal to the criminal court to have a magistrate’s order for a criminal inquiry into his conduct quashed. The order for the inquiry followed an application filed by Repubblika in a complaint after Jean Philippe Chetcuti was seen bragging in a TV documentary on French TV that his close [...]

Updated Saturday, 23 November 2019 12:12 Someone who identified himself as a spokesman for the firm that operates these mobile shredders called me to clarify they had been pre-booked for the job before Yorgen Fenech's arrest and the job was at the Hilton Hotel which is part of the Portomaso Complex. Mobile industrial scale paper [...]

Statement by the family: The arrest of Yorgen Fenech is an important and overdue development in the investigation into our wife and mother’s assassination. As investigators now turn to Fenech’s corrupt links with the Maltese Prime Minister’s chief of staff Keith Schembri and cabinet minister Konrad Mizzi, we are dismayed to see the Prime Minister [...]

In his comments to the press this morning the prime minister let slip he was referring to Melvyn Theuma's request for immunity as "l-ewwel proklama", the first proclamation. He immediately retracted it and said he meant "l-unika proklama", the only plea deal he was being asked to recommend. Joseph Muscat is clearly not getting much [...]

A circular sent this morning to financial service operators by the FIAU gives a three day deadline for information to be filed whether they have at present or had in the past any business relationship with Yorgen Fenech or a host of companies he was or is involved in. The request was sent out by [...]

Come join us tonight. We're meeting outside Castille at 18:30. Mario Vella (not the governor of the Central Bank who studied in communist East Germany but protects the broken corporatism of today) but the real leftie with his heart firmly in the right place, the unsurpassable poet and inimitable political musician has just announced on [...]

If you've seen Joker you'll know it's perfectly possible to have involuntary laughter. In a film based on graphic novels. To be fair, it's far. But is he smiling? Does he think something's funny now?
