MALTA'S consul in Tripoli Dr Marisa Far- rugia has been recalled back to Malta for urgent police questioning, after police took action in a request by the government over documented evidence of extensive fraud in the Maltese embassy, in the issuing of travel visas for Libyans. On Friday, Farrugia arrived in Malta and was interrogated by senior police officers from the Criminal Inves- tigations Department in Floriana, where she was questioned over allegations of fraud in the issue of hundreds of Maltese visas to Libyan nationals. The investigations took place after a number of Maltese companies raised the alarm when they realised that their letter- heads were being used on recommendations and the official invitations used for the issu- ing of a visa for Libyan businessmen – alleg- edly copied and falsified to issue visas for other Libyan nationals.
