According to the findings of the in- quiry seen by MaltaToday, the cash went missing after the inmate surrendered his belongings for safekeeping upon entry into prison. The magisterial inquiry concluded in December 2022 recommended police investigate the warder to whom the cash was surrendered, indicating him as the prime suspect for "aggravated theft". However, according to the police the findings of the inquiry were "inconclu- sive" and investigations were still ongo- ing. "A magisterial inquiry has been con- cluded, which however was inconclu- sive. Police investigations are still ongo- ing," a spokesperson for the police force told MaltaToday when asked whether the warder was charged. KURT SANSONE NURSES and midwives could expect a yearly in- crease in their take home pay of €6,000 by the end of the sectoral agreement pro- posed by the government. Ministers Chris Fearne and Jo Etienne Abela, writing in MaltaToday (MT2 page 7), say the government propos- als place nurses "amongst the top-two tiers" for total take home pay. This is the first time the ministers responsible for health and the elderly re- spectively have spoken publicly about details of government's proposals rejected by the nurses' union.
