As the property gold rush on St George's Bay gathers steam, a new extension to the Bay Street complex for 12 storeys on St Augustine Street and Sqaq Lourdes could be about to take shape after the monks rented out the land currently used as a makeshift car park to Bay Street Holdings Ltd. Not everyone is happy about the news, though, and the Decesare business group are objecting to the proposal.

Aaron Bugeja met MEPs Sven Giegold, Ana Gomes, and David Casa during their follow-up mission on rule of law in Malta, where he briefed them on details con- cerning the overall investi- gation of the Egrant affair. "He said he interviewed hundreds of witnesses. Then he said that he had looked at information from foreign sources relevant to the case, and specified that he had in- terviewed and interrogated both locals and foreign in- dividuals," a source privy to the conversation that took place during the meeting told MaltaToday. The Egrant inquiry was launched on a police com- plaint by Prime Minister Jo- seph Muscat, after the late journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia published the allega- tion in April 2017, popularly believed to have originated from Pilatus Bank whistle- blower Maria Efimova. Muscat has tied his politi- cal career to the findings of the inquiry. Both Bugeja and Magis- trate Anthony Vella agreed to meet the three MEPs on Friday, but Bugeja made it clear before the meeting that he could not answer specific questions about the inquiry and about who had been in- terviewed. Bugeja was also quizzed by the delegation as to whether the Maltese police had failed to investigate the Egrant af- fair. "He told them that the police were part of his in- quiry and had supported him in all the investigations at all times," said the same source.
