MFA, MPL enter
agreement to
modernise the
Premier League
THE Nationalist Party has taken
legal action against the State Ad-
vocate in the latest twist in the
fraudulent hospitals deal saga.
On Tuesday, the PN argued that
the State Advocate is the one who
should work to recover the €400
million in taxpayer money that
was paid to Vitals and Steward
through the fraudulent deal.
The PN initiated legal action
against the State Advocate, urging
the court to affirm both his ability
and responsibility to take action in
recovering funds unlawfully given
to Steward to the detriment of the
Maltese State. PN leader, Bernard
Grech also stated that his party
has requested that the court treat
the case with urgency.

THE Malta Football Association (MFA) and the Malta
Premier League have created a joint venture aimed at
modernising elite club football locally.
The agreement means that the Malta Premier
League will be able to engage in commercial activ-
ity including branding, sponsorships, as well as the
marketing rights of the league.
The joint venture will also see changes in the for-
mat of the league, one of which will be a reduction
of teams in the league.

The Nationalist Party said that since the state's interests outweighed
those of individual government members, the State Advocate's
decision to take action should not be delayed to obtain any
government official's approval
