Sanctions expert:
'Malta is guilty until it
proves itself innocent'
Malta second-
easiest country
for expats to
move to - study
NICOLE MEILAK
ON the international stage, Malta
is guilty until it proves itself inno-
cent. But Tom Keatinge, Director
of the Centre for Financial Crime
and Security Studies at RUSI,
says fellow Member States can
learn a thing or two from Malta
on its sanctions policies.
Keatinge, who was in Malta for
workshops on sanctions, said he
was impressed by the coordina-
tion and community in Malta on
sanctions, which is a far cry to the
impression many abroad have of
Malta's sanctions approach.
