Labour Party denies
link to driving test
corruption scandal
KARL AZZOPARDI
THE Labour Party has denied referring
candidates for preferential treatment
during driving tests in the wake of a cor-
ruption scandal that has rocked Trans-
port Malta.
"There are no pending proceedings or
charges against any Partit Laburista of-
ficial," a spokesperson said when asked
whether the party denies that any of its
officials are linked to the scandal.
The party has also denied having an or-
ganised system of passing on names of
candidates waiting to undergo a driving
test to Transport Malta officials. "The
answer is a categorical no," the spokes-
person replied.
On Monday, three Transport Malta
officials were charged with corruption
in an alleged racket concerning driving
tests - Transport Malta director for the
Land Transport Directorate Clint Man-
sueto, former Żebbuġ Labour councillor
Philip Edrick Zammit and Raul Antonio
Pace. They pleaded not guilty to charges
brought against them.
