Maybe, if Gafa did his job, I wouldn’t have had any chats to publish

I respectfully disagree with the Court’s decision to clamp down on me for publishing Yorgen Fenech’s chats on my website. There are no chats published that are directly related to the murder case, and I assume that they may be used to describe his character, as with other information that is in the public domain. My lawyers are also challenging this decision in the Constitutional Court.

All the chats that I have published would have already been in the public domain had the Police prosecuted Yorgen Fenech with a host of money laundering, bribery, and corruption charges – only that he wasn’t. Rosianne Cutajar was one of the politicians involved in corrupt dealings with him. and she would have continued with politics as normal had her chats not been published. There are politicians like Adrian Delia who had corrupt dealings with Yorgen Fenech and today are rehabilitating their political careers. There is Saviour Balzan, a media owner, who lied about not having been paid by Yorgen Fenech in exchange for PR services. Of course, the public has the right to know, especially now, that the Mafia State is back with a vengeance.

Had Police Commissioner Angelo Gafa investigated Yorgen Fenech over all his crimes, these chats would have long been made public and a host of politicians would have been prosecuted. Until today, Yorgen Fenech is still able to bribe and conduct illicit business and has at his disposal extensive resources that he could deploy. It is incredibly naive to think that the police would treat Yorgen Fenech like an ordinary criminal who deserves the benefit of the doubt: that’s the Court’s job. The job of the State authorities that are meant to provide security to the nation such as the Police, the Army, and the Security Services is not to give its adversaries and enemies the benefit of the doubt. In the absence of any genuine effort to clamp down on Yorgen Fenech’s criminal financial activity and his network and allies in politics, the least we can do is reveal the truth.
