disease raises
its head again
WT Global has been dominating
the cab and food delivery sectors.
It's been registering record profits
and hiring whopping numbers of
couriers and taxi drivers to keep op-
erations running.
However, the financial accounts of
the company paint a picture of a small
empire built on the cheap labour of its
workers, largely food delivery couriers
and taxi drivers. MaltaToday takes a
deep dive into the accounts of WT
Global to understand how the com-
pany is doing so well, and where there
might be cause for alarm.

PREVIOUSLY associated
with tourists staying in ho-
tels with ill kept ACs and hot
tubs Legionnaire disease is
becoming increasingly com-
mon among the resident
population.
Official statistics show that
last year Malta recorded 13
cases of the potentially lethal
water-borne disease amidst a
spike in cases across Europe.
This represents the third
highest ever number of an-
nual cases in Malta of the
bacterial infection associated
with neglected air-condition-
ing and plumbing systems.
According to the Infectious
Disease Prevention and Con-
trol Unit (IDCU)'s annual
report nine cases out of the
13 recorded in 2023 involved
Maltese residents.
