Karl Muscat was one of Malta’s top criminal prosecutors. He was hated by Malta’s criminal groups and frequently offered significant sums of money by criminal lawyers to join them. Karl Muscat always refused these offers and stuck to his role, mission, and calling. He was also prosecuting Christian Borg in his kidnapping and abduction case.
Karl Muscat was found dead in his home last year. Before he died, Karl Muscat was suspended from work over a court case he was involved in with his previous partner. He became depressed following this situation, withdrew into himself, and turned to drugs such as cocaine. The autopsy declared that he died from cardio-respiratory failure – a very common death when it comes to drug overdoses.
Incredibly, even though we know for certain (not a rumor), that Karl Muscat was purchasing drugs before he died, the court expert who searched through the records of his mobile phone claimed that there was definitely “no foul play involved” in the records. Strange. I kept thinking about this for a long time. I was a young punk who took drugs in a very different period, and I know very well how Police Commissioner John Rizzo would have reacted if he had just heard of a rumor (not a substantiated allegation) that a prosecutor may have died of a drug overdose: he would have reacted with the wrath of God, call on platoon of police officers for overtime, literally arrest all the suspected drug dealers in the country, bring them into the chip, and scour every inch of the country to find the person who was selling drugs to Karl Muscat. I’ve seen Rizzo doing these kind of things already for minor cases.
Yet, there is a total silence from the Attorney General and the Police. One of their own had died and not even a sense of camaraderie was expressed. Strange as well.
I hope this helps, but it is only now that I have realised that the same court expert who went through the records of Karl Muscat’s phone, is Keith Cutajar and the same court expert who blatantly lied in court and under oath that everything was in order in the chamber of Magistrate Donatella Frendo Dimech.
Genuinely, I still don’t know what to make of this yet. I’m just stating facts that I know.
