criminal past

THE Court of Appeal has
confirmed the rejection of an
appeal by the developers in
the ongoing saga at Ħondoq
ir-Rummien in Gozo.
After 22 years, the Appeals
Court upheld the Environ-
ment and Planning Review
Tribunal's reconfirmed rejec-
tion from the Planning Au-
thority board of the Ħondoq
ir-Rummien project.
The environmental tussle
pitted environmentalists and
locality mayor Paul Buttigieg
against developers who want-
ed to turn a disused quarry
into a mega development – a
veritable new village located
outside development zones.
The Appeals Court also con-
firmed that Buttigieg's inclu-
sion in the planning appeal
had not constituted a conflict
of interest.

THE election of Stephen Vaughan
Jr as president of St George's FC in
Malta's third tier football league
has raised eyebrows because of
the man's controversial past.
Vaughan Jr was convicted in
2016 in the UK of perverting the
course of justice in relation to the
murder of Neil Doyle, a Liverpool
police constable.
