No news as yet of any arrests in connection with the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia a day after they were pre-announced in the now infamous The Sunday Times front page story. It is wrong to dismiss the report in the newspaper. It has not been denied by any of the agencies mentioned in it, [...]
Happy to share this with you. Resident troll Pearl Fava posted under a link to a post of mine challenging me on whether my wife, Clemence, was responsible for the enhancements to the yellow canvas around the Great Siege Memorial last week. Pearl Fava does not know my wife doesn't need anyone to speak on [...]
Several hundred clients of Satabank continue to suffer hardship as they’ve had their bank accounts frozen for a month now. There has been no indication yet by Ernst & Young, appointed by the MFSA to manage the bank when any of these funds would be released to customers. Frustration mounts as Maltese authorities appear to [...]
This is the first in a series by Godfrey Leone-Ganado reviewing what is known of Electrogas and identifying oddities that may perhaps only be answered by a proper 17 Black inquiry. In the light of the recent revelations on 17 Black, the Dubai money laundering vehicle set up by Yorgen Fenech and targeted as a [...]
After a day of silence, Police Minister Michael Farrugia confirmed the report in this morning's The Sunday Times, speaking to TG3 earlier today. "The investigations are still ongoing. Europol has important information we are working on and we hope that soon those responsible are arrested". Michael Farrugia was quoted by Rai 3 speaking in English [...]
It’s been a whole day now since we’ve read on The Sunday Times the police are conducting a criminal inquiry into 17 Black. The Sunday Times did not explicitly say so, but it did imply the Prime Minister’s chief of staff and a government Minister are suspects in a criminal investigation in a major corruption [...]

There’s a lot of thinking and asking that comes out of the stories on this morning’s front page of The Sunday Times. Somehow Labour spinners are presenting this is some form of vindication. There is one simple stark fact that emerges from the information given to The Sunday Times and we’re going to assume everyone [...]
Press Release A number of activists from civil society announced the establishment of ‘Repubblika’, a civil society organisation to participate in the national dialogue on the observance and enhancement of monitoring mechanisms of human rights, and of protecting and enhancing democracy in Malta. The activists declared their commitment towards constitutional values, which they called the [...]
'Investigators' told The Sunday Times they know who commissioned Daphne's murder. The story, by Ivan Martin, quotes a level of certainty that suggests that arrests are imminent. Judging by what the story says, the police have been busy solving the crime while we were exhorting them to do so and berating them for looking not [...]
Everyone understands something very basic. If you do something illegal, the police should look into it, investigate what really happened, collect the evidence of wrong-doing and then accuse you of that wrong-doing in a court of law where they then need to prove it. Whatever else, anyone else might do to help prevent or uncover [...]
When the rest of the world takes a glance at Malta they see it is governed by clowns. That’s not because we tell them it is. It’s because they stay long enough to watch them make fools of themselves. Take this example. At the UN periodic review of Malta’s human rights record, one country after [...]
This is the text of the speech read out yesterday by Daphne Caruana Galizia's nieces: Many question the value of honours and awards for our aunt Daphne when she has already been killed for her work, when those who ordered her assassination are still at large, and when the conditions that enabled her murder remain [...]
Well actually it's a picture but it was sent in earlier by av under the Owen thinks we can't read backwards post.
No wonder they’re dodging journalists like the plague. No wonder they refuse interviews with international journalists and then send ambassadors to complain to the bosses of the journalists that invite them saying their coverage was imbalanced. No wonder they break laws left, right and centre to block annoying journalists from asking annoying questions. It’s that [...]
So after the mild hilarity of the unsuccessful attempts at concealing last night's protest graffiti on the hoarding around the Great Siege Memorial by flipping the canvas facing inwards, the order came down to put everything back as it was. So now we can read "Daphne was Right" the right way round again. While you [...]
A Culture Minister is not enough to coordinate the flipping of protest graffiti on the canvas sheeting of hoarding. You also need a Chairman of the European Capital of Culture to supervise works on site. You never know. Here's Jason Micallef this morning, facing the prospect of imminent redundancy as the hollow Valletta 2018 program [...]
Robert Arrigo is hosting a birthday party for his constituents on 1st December at the Dolmen Hotel. That is the sort of thing you’d normally read in the second half of the pages of in-Nazzjon, if that’s your idea of fun. But this year Robert Arrigo has made the strategic decision of not promoting his [...]
