Traffic police paid for extra
duty which they never did
KURT SANSONE
POLICE officers from the traf-
fic branch were receiving pay-
ments for extra duty on various
road work projects but failing to
turn up, MaltaToday has learnt.
The widespread abuse was
uncovered following an inter-
nal police investigation that was
prompted by a whistleblower.
It is understood that officers
from the traffic branch were
paid thousands in extra duty
payments as part of contracted
work by Infrastructure Malta.
PN's debt stands
at €34 million
KURT SANSONE AND MATTHEW VELLA
A debt inheritance of around €34 million accumulat-
ed since the Gonzi years has left the Nationalist Party
financially obliged to major businesses and all banks.
A former PN official who spoke to MaltaToday on
condition of anonymity said the debt has also made it
hard for people to come forward and offer their ser-
vices in key administrative roles.
"Anybody taking up an official post risks culpability
if creditors call in their loans and this partly explains
the difficulty of finding someone to fill in the role of
treasurer," the source who was privy to
internal party matters said.
