Operational Programme I - European Structural and Investment Funds 2014-2020 "Fostering a competitive and sustainable economy to meet our challenges" Project part-financed by the European Regional Development Fund Co-financing rate: 80% European Union; 20% National Funds CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 KESSLER'S conclusion was that Zammit could have been act- ing on behalf of Dalli, in a clear act of bribery; if not, he was still suspected of having trade in in- fluence when he demanded the bribe for the lifting of the snus ban from a Swedish Match com- pany man in the presence of Kim- berley, their Malta rep. He also said Kimberley was in- volved in the alleged bribe, find- ing contradictions in her state- ments and suggesting she had played a duplicitous role by as- sisting Zammit in drawing up an email to request payment for his services. Kessler suggested she too could be charged with either bribery or trading in influence. But that latter charge is now prescribed by Maltese law. All crimes liable to imprison- ment for a term of between 12 to four years, are prescribed after a lapse of five years. While Zammit was charged with bribery in December 2012 – two months after the Attor- ney General was given the OLAF report – Kimberley was never charged. But it was clear to po- lice who read the OLAF report that in February 2012, her hus- band Matthew scripted a lobby- ing proposal that Zammit was to forward to Estoc – the same list of services that Gayle Kimberley had given to Swedish Match (a member of the Estoc lobby) back in 2011 upon her recruitment by the company. But Zammit sent out a careless copy-and-paste in March 2012, with his subject header reading "Re: Copy/paste proposal", left on from the original email the Kimberleys had sent him. The Kimberleys had been rumbled. Since the alleged crime of trad- ing in influence would have taken place right before in the months leading up to August 2012, the crime would by now be pre- scribed at law. Dalli, whom Kessler said was surely responsible of "a serious breach of his duty to behave in keeping with the dignity of his of- fice" but never suggested a crimi- nal charge, was never arraigned in Malta. However, former po- lice chief John Rizzo claims he intended to charge the politician after the March 2013 general election. €1 million lawsuit Never a stranger to controversy, John Dalli is still the subject of a major investigation. After losing a European Court of Justice case claiming unfair dismissal by former Commis- sion president, Dalli pursued a criminal report with the Belgian police against OLAF and Swedish Match for defamation and abuse of power. But even after Dalligate, OLAF continued investigating a fraud scheme that implicated Dalli, the findings of which were forwarded to the Maltese Attorney General in 2016. The EU investigators were said to have linked Dalli to a Ponzi- like scheme that duped investors of at least $1.5 million. The al- legations are that trips Dalli had made to the Bahamas in 2012 were related to this scheme — nicknamed Gold Pool — led by Eloise Corbin, an American con artist who lives in Malta. Investi- gators say that as Commissioner, Dalli and Corbin travelled to- gether in 2011 and 2012 to a Ger- man health spa, and spent time together at a villa in the Bahamas, where he benefited from the use of an $8,000-a-month beachside villa that was not declared to the European Commission. As police investigations intensi- fy in Malta, on 25 May 2017 Dalli took the step to file a new case in the European Court of Justice, this time demanding financial compensation of €1 million for damages suffered in the fallout from the OLAF report. "What took place against me was a clear act of fraud," Dalli told GWU newspaper l-orizzont yesterday, which reported the former commissioner claiming he has proof that Kessler tam- pered the evidence and corrupted witnesses. mvella@mediatoday.com.mt Dalli pursues €1 million damages claim OLAF director Giovanni Kessler (top), and below from left, Gayle Kimberley and Silvio Zammit
