The missing page from the public inquiry report, in translation:
1/5) "Daphne was receiving a large quantity of leaked emails from Electrogas and she was certain that there was corruption in the contracts awarded to it. She knew of the existence of 17 Black."
2/5) "Daphne knew that Electrogas was on the brink of failure and in Sept. 2017 she wrote about this. Shortly after, the government came in to give a guarantee which allowed Electrogas to achieve 'financial closure' in November 2017, that is, one month after her assassination."
3/5) "It is probable that if it were revealed, convincingly and publicly, before the assassination, that 17 Black belongs to Yorgen Fenech, the govt. would have been in too uncomfortable a position to give a guarantee, and the future of Electrogas would have been put in doubt."
4/5) "This without ignoring the fact that the Prime Minister's Chief of Staff knew full well who the UBO of 17 Black was well before Daphne published the news on the company. This is the conclusion resulting from his own testimony."
5/5) "It is not within the remit of this Board to establish the motive of the assassination, because that is the competence of the Police."

My family and I spent years calling for justice. We were harassed and made out to be enemies of our own country by Muscat. Yet we persisted because we knew that something was deeply, deeply wrong with the investigation. What I heard in court today confirms that we were right:
The middleman, Melvin Theuma, was testifying. Yorgen Fenech commissioned him to hire a gang of hitmen to assassinate my mum, the day Muscat announced a general election in 2017. The plan was put into motion as soon as Muscat won the election, a month after calling it.
Theuma testified that after the murder he was angry at Fenech and called him "a traitor" over the phone with a friend. We were piling pressure on Malta and they were feeling it. Muscat's office, which is responsible for all phone taps in Malta, tipped off Fenech about this call.
In disbelief at this @nytimes article, promoting a racket that:
1) is blacklisted by the OECD 2) uses fraud to fake residency 3) causes intense environmental destruction 4) sells passports to criminals 5) is run by Christian Kalin, known to aid criminals
They chose a photo of a pretty square in the Canary Islands for this piece. But what does a country that is part of this racket actually end up looking like? This, an ugly concrete desert for nonresident passport buyers where there once was a beautiful Mediterranean town:
What kind of people does Kalin work for? Exhibit 1: Ahmad Karkuly of Chicago, jailed for running a $17m mortgage fraud. Kalin solicited a Cook Islands trust for Karkuly to hide his money, probably from people he defrauded and US authorities: afr.com/news/policy/ta…
