Chris Fearne and Edward Scicluna to be indicted along with dozens of others on facilitating fraud and money laundering

The current Central Bank Governor and previous Finance Minister Edward Scicluna and previous Minister of Health Chris Fearne and Deputy-Prime Minister will be indicted to court along with dozens of others on accusations of having been complicit in fraud and money laundering. They are not among the list of individuals to be charged with money laundering.

As Minister for Health, Chris Fearne was not the person who signed the concession to Steward despite being Health Minister when the concession was awarded in 2018. Konrad Mizzi signed the concession as the Minister responsible for Public-Private-Partnerships and Chris Fearne was responsible to ensure the execution of the service. He offered to resign to the Labour Party’s Parliamentary Group upon his indictment, yesterday evening.

On the other hand, Edward Scicluna’s resignation as Central Bank Governor would have to be triggered immediately as soon as he is arraigned in court provided his contract and the Central Bank’s own employment regulations. As Finance Minister, Edward Scicluna financed all of the deals the government made with Vitals and Steward.

    They paid out millions every year for five years and wanted to carry on paying while the country looked on and knew this stank to high heaven. 280 million was paid out by Abela and his cabinet alone over four consecutive years.

    Using his Deputy for the dirty work: Chris Fearne is being used an excuse by Robert Abela to attack the Inquiring Magistrate – Mark Camilleri

    […] Deputy-Prime Minister Chris Fearne, who served as Health Minister when Steward took over the public hospitals concessions deal from Vitals, is now being pushed in a very precarious position by Robert Abela in order to attack the Inquiring Magistrate. The right choice for Chris Fearne would be to refuse to take any part in this dictatorial theatrics and resign altogether. […]
