More bad news for Simon Cusens

—

More news about Malta’s Freemasons. Apparently, Malta’s biggest bank robber in its history, David Gatt has been appointed the boss of the Scottish Freemason Lodge in Malta. The Scottish Lodge is featured in this document about Villa Blye with the other Freemasonry lodge, the Grand Sovereign Lodge of whatever. The masonic lodges are in a dispute over who is the rightful owner of the villa.

He was promoted to some sort of “Master” of the lodge, but I am not getting into details as I’ll probably get it wrong. Probably, it’s all about some sort of esoteric, criminal underground with men sharing trading secrets and whatever. It’s also very gay (women not included).

In any case. David Gatt seems to be a problem for Simon Cusens since he intends for his masonic lodge to take over Villa Blye who claim to be the rightful owners. Simon Cusens will be battling a major court case and a professional bank robber over a villa. That’s a quite tough gig to play for €5 million of public funds.

    Mr Camilleri

    I find it crass and offensive to the LGBTQ community that you are using the term gay in a perjorative manner against Freemasons.

    If you have personal issues with Freemasons thats your personal prerogative not going to attempt to counter it even though I consider it as ignorant and ironically lack of understanding of especially freemasonry in Malta.

    But to insult individuals in this manner mixing them in over after all a corrupt deal that involved directly or indirectly a person who is a Grand Master of the Maltese lodges is something.

    What case is Simon Cusens actually involved in because your link there is a dead link?

      I noted the gay bit. However, I didn’t find it insulting to gay people. I thought it interesting and relevant, assuming it is true, only because it can expose people to the risk of blackmail. Not everyone is proud to be gay.

    I’m not sure it’s clear what the issue is about.
