Back in November 2016, the PA had approved another ap- plication – presented by an- other applicant – foreseeing an 80sq.m "store" with un- derlying basement further up on the steep side of the Babu valley, replacing three smaller and scattered rooms. ERA also considered the develop- ment excessive given that this farmer only tilled 1.2 tumoli of land, and had only been regis- tered as a farmer for a "couple of months before the submis- sion of the application." Baldacchino is also propos- ing the development of 14 'luxury' bungalows instead of the Garden of Eden wedding hall complex and its adjacent, illegal carpark. In a bid to gain more time, his architect Ray Demicoli has asked for a sus- pension of the processing of this application. PN: IIP gives Malta bad name THE Nationalist Party has reaffirmed calls for the im- mediate suspension of the Individual Investor Pro- gramme, over news that a Maltese IIP citizen had been charged with serious fraud in the United States and Israel. Israel citizen Anatoly Hurgin became a Maltese passport-holder in 2016 and is now facing charges in the US of defrauding €30 million from the shareholders of a Florida-based company. "This news shows how the Maltese IIP is ruining our country's reputation," Op- position leader Adrian Delia said yesterday. "These cases bring to nothing Labour's boasts of its four-tier due diligence process in the IIP."
