A cache of Whatsapp chats be-
tween the Tumas magnate Yor-
gen Fenech and former Infra-
structure Malta boss Fredrick
Azzopardi have been given to
the Commissioner of Police by
independent politician Arnold
Cassola, suggesting corrupt
practices in the tender process
for the Marsa Junction.
The chats, as well as emails
between Yorgen Fenech and
the Turkish companies, were
passed on to Cassola by anon-
ymous whistleblowers.

POLICE had expressed serious
concerns as to how Malta's re-
laxation of cannabis laws would
regulate their sale.
A senior police officer told
MaltaToday yesterday that at-
tempts to address the sale of
cannabis products that were
purportedly legal CBD flowers,
had remained unresolved at the
political level despite the mat-
ter being flagged by experts to
the home affairs ministry.
CBD flowers, a direct prod-
uct coming from the canna-
bis plant, contains just 0.2% of
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).
But the flowers of cannabis
plants can also contain higher,
and therefore illegal, amounts
of THC – the main psycho-
active compound in cannabis
that produces the high sensa-
tion when canna-
bis is consumed.
