In an interview on Net TV with MaltaToday.com.mt editor Kurt Sansone, Delia denied the allegation when asked twice. Delia is also insisting he has not been informed that he was the subject of any police investiga- tions or magisterial inquiries on allegations of receiving alleged bribes from Yorgen Fenech – despite the inquiry having been launched on the allegation. A magistrate is investigat- ing the allegation that Fenech would have told the assassina- tion middleman, Melvin Theu- ma, that he paid Delia €50,000 in cash to prevent the election of David Casa in the European elections of 2019. "Nobody has ever in my life approached me with money with regard to people in the party. Not about David Casa, not about other MEPS or polit- ical issues. Nobody. If someone dared offer me money, I would go straight to the police as I have done in the past." Queried about allegations of having met Fenech at the busi- nessman's Zebbug ranch, Delia said that he had met him once in a converted farmhouse as part of a series of meals. "You must remember that before the issue of Fenech's involvement in the murder was discovered, Yorgen Fenech was a businessman like any other. Meeting employers and business people is normal for someone in my position." But Delia is questioning the fact that the allegation coincides with the Montenegro scandal- which has rocked the Labour Party and led to the ousting of Konrad Mizzi. "Let us not fall for a diversionary tactic by Labour… Did anyone put for- ward a single fact? The person who should have said it, Yor- gen Fenech, has denied saying it. I said under oath, and I take oaths seriously, that I never was approached." Delia said scandals like the Mozura wind park, the Egrant affair, and the Vitals hospitals concession were "all document- ed" and not merely allegations. He also insisted that claims that former ally and head of PN media Pierre Portelli had taken €20,000 in cash from Fenech, were "an invention". But Delia is resisting calls for his resignation, claiming that Joseph Muscat's former chief of staff Keith Schembri used his testimony in the compila- Delia insists he is not under investigation in Yorgen Fenech bribery inquiry "Nobody has ever in my life approached me with money with regard to people in the party. Not about David Casa, not about other MEPS or political issues" Adrian Delia took questions from MaltaToday.com.mt editor Kurt Sansone
