This week there was an article in the press by a previous prosecutor saying that there should be more due diligence on the private security industry, namely on bouncers in Paceville given that recently they have been terrorising patrons with impunity.
There can be two types of prosecutors and police officers who can be wrong in Malta. First, there are the corrupt individuals like Angelo Gafa and Victoria Buttigieg who are willingly and actively aiding and abetting organised criminals. Then there are the naive and good-willing police officers and prosecutors who fail to see the organised crime behind a very deceiving surface.
There is a tool which all criminals use and this is deception, and organised criminals use it industriously. Some Serbian businessmen in Malta want to fool the public by pretending they are legitimate business people, when in fact they are only organised criminals who made their money from cocaine and are now laundering it in their legitimate businesses. Stop being naive and delusional. Malta has an organised criminal network coming from Serbia that has taken over Paceville and a substantial part of the Maltese cocaine trade. The Serbian mafia rose to power in Malta under Joseph Muscat’s Labour government, and after Police Commissioner John Rizzo had destroyed the local drugs industry. The Serbs became significant market participants when the market was depleted of its biggest local drug dealers. The bouncers in Paceville who are Serbs or from other Balkan countruies, are not actually bouncers, they are drug-dealers and muscle forming part of a wider criminal network.
Today, due to widespread government corruption and naivety from many others, the Serbian criminal network has established strong roots in Malta and they are enjoying widespread impunity. They have even murdered a major Maltese nightclub patron with impunity. Hugo Chetcuti wasn’t killed by a crazy idiot who wanted revenge on a petty matter – that’s what some Serbs want us to believe. There are motives behind Hugo Chetucti’s murder which we still need to learn.
Uncovering the Serbian mafia in Malta shouldn’t be a difficult task. We already have extensive information on how they operate with their cocaine trade. What’s disappointing in all of this is that the state has allowed this violent criminal group to entrench itself and consolidate in Malta without any resistance. This is a clear case where the state should use all its force and arsenal at its disposal to clean the streets of foreign criminal groups who are using violence against locals to accumulate power. If the state was serious about these low-life organised criminals, these criminals could be deported and destroyed in a couple of days. This is not a case about social victims turning criminals who deserve to be treated by the book of law: these are not ordinary criminal suspects. The Serbian mafia in Malta should be treated as semi-combatants and enemies of the state, because that’s what they literally and truthfully are.
