ANALYSIS WWW.MALTATODAY.COM.MT WEDNESDAY EDITION €1.00 Newspaper post WEDNESDAY • 18 DECEMBER 2019 • ISSUE 668 • PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY AND SUNDAY EDITORIAL • PAGE 9 'THE ISLAND OF CORRUPTION' ANALYSIS 'Tis the season to be abnormal… MATTHEW VELLA AND MASSIMO COSTA NATIONALIST Party leader Adrian Delia has announced he will publish the entire mag- isterial inquiry into the secret Panamanian company Egrant. The magisterial inquiry had determined there was no con- clusive proof that the company was owned by the spouse of Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, as alleged by the late journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. "I am disgusted that people who had an office inside Cas- tille could have been prosecut- ed on suspicions of corruption," Delia said, without referring to anyone in particular. Delia had taken the conclu- sions of the Egrant inquiry in 2018 as the basis for removing Simon Busuttil from his role as good governance spokesper- son. Speaking in a live broadcast a day after having received a copy of the 1,400-page inquest report from the Egrant mag- isterial inquiry, Delia said he would be publishing the report in its entirety. "The Egrant report shows that the authorities had to take steps. Instead they shirked their duties and did not take steps according to law, this means Muscat and Bonnici have been for the past 18 months knew there were investigations to be done, and did not do anything, with the consequence that im- portant evidence could have been hidden," Delia said.

This emerged in court as the constitutional case filed by Daphne Caruana Galizia murder mastermind Yorgen Fenech to have the lead investigator in the case, inspector Keith Arnaud, removed, continued yesterday. Fenech had filed the case in November, after his arrest, de- manding that Arnaud be re- moved from the Caruana Galizia murder investi- gation.
