Auditor Chris Spiteri who audited one of Malta’s biggest frauds says he is being “persecuted”

—

It’s incredible the excuses that criminal suspects conjure when they are forced to explain their actions under the justice system. “Who am I stop Joseph Muscat from bringing this good investment to Malta?” protests Chris Spiteri. Well, he was the auditor, actually, the person who supposedly should have told everyone that the Vitals deal is a total fraud. He didn’t though. He accepted to provide his services to Vitals and Steward as an auditor on the pretext that the whole deal was legitimate. Now, he is feeling “persecuted”.

I remember someone with a similar explanation and it was the Chief Risk Officer of Bank of Valletta, Miguel Borg. It turned out that his explanations weren’t very satisfactory for the bank.

Christopher Spiteri is being charged with money-laundering, facilitating money-laundering for a criminal organisation, falsifying and forging documents, and providing false information.

      The role of an auditor is to ensure that the numbers reported on a set of financial statements are accurate and not to look for fraud but if fraud is identified, they are obligated to report it.

      There’s a big difference.
