Yesterday evening, just before Joseph Muscat was given a hero’s welcome at the Labour Party’s headquarters in ?amrum, Prime Minister Robert Abela gave an interview to the Times of Malta where he attacked the inquiring Magistrate Gabriella Vella and exonerated Joseph Muscat. Joseph Muscat has been trying to remove Magistrate Gabriella Vella from the inquiry on his fraudulent and corrupt Vitals and Steward Healthcare deals over Malta’s public hospitals. In his attempt to protect him, Robert Abela has also been helping Joseph Muscat remove the Magistrate from her inquiry.
Robert Abela attacked the Magistrate for taking more than four years to work on an inquiry which has not yet been concluded. This inquiry is about one of the biggest frauds concocted in Maltese political history and with the absence of a police force that is willing to investigate politicians, it is exclusively up to the Magistrate to work on a fully-fledged and in-depth investigation. Four years is a very reasonable time frame for such an extensive inquiry. The courts have already described the deals as fraudulent and corrupt – what needs to be done is to gather the evidence to incriminate the suspects and a lot of the evidence is already out in public apart from having been partly presented in the previous court cases brought by the Nationalist Party.
This is the second time that Robert Abela is attacking an inquiring Magistrate. The last time Robert Abela did it, attacked inquiring Magistrate Marsanne Farrugia and falsely accused her of demanding an extension to the inquiry. The Magistrate deposited her inquiry which was fully concluded on the following day. Saviour Balzan, helped and abetted Robert Abela to orchestrate a fraudulent campaign to defend himself after having opposed a public inquiry and blamed the inquiring Magistrate for his own crisis. Now, Saviour Balzan is helping Robert Abela re-integrate Joseph Muscat’s criminal associates into active political life once again.
It is rare in our history that a Prime Minister would attack the judiciary and even rarer that a Prime Minister would do it repeatedly, and each time to cover up for organised crime in politics. Labour has made the Police and the Attorney-General ineffective but capturing the judiciary is a bit more challenging. Robert Abela is going head to head against the members of the judiciary who chip away at the Labour Party’s criminal network. If Labour’s survival depends on impunity from the judiciary and the Courts of Law, Labour will wage war against the judiciary and cause a constitutional crisis. Controlling the judiciary is a necessary prerequisite for the survival of any dictatorship.
