Robert Arrigo, former PN
deputy leader, dies aged 67
KURT SANSONE
NATIONALIST Party MP and former
deputy leader Robert Arrigo has died at
the age of 67.
Arrigo died early on Tuesday morning,
with the announcement being made by
the PN's media.
Arrigo, an entrepreneur in the tourism
sector, had been battling cancer over
the past few months. Despite his illness,
Arrigo kept in touch with his electorate
and his never-say-die attitude was evi-
denced in one of his last Facebook posts
advertising a December buffet dinner he
was organising in aid of Puttinu Cares.
Arrigo had been an MP since 2003 and
before that was mayor of Sliema and
president of the locality's football club.

A mental health professional has told a
court that the Somali man allegedly ab-
ducted and beaten up by police officers in
a racially motivated attack last month, had
long-stanging psychotic tendencies.
The compilation of evidence against Ri-
ca Mifsud Grech, 22, from Floriana, and
Jurgen Falzon, 24, from Santa Venera, and
Luca Brincat, 20, from Qormi, continued
before magistrate Joe Mifsud Tuesday
morning.
