According to the reporting by Monique Agius of Newsbook, who often does very detailed court reports, yesterday in Court, a Prosecutor accused a public officer of breaching the public’s trust.
The accused, a public officer at Identita Malta, Maria Rita Agius is being accused of fraud, forgery and money laundering. She was involved in the identity cards racket at Identita Malta. The racket used random home addresses to issue fraudulent ID Cards to many third-country nationals against payment. The case is just one of the many cases that was recently brought to light by Jason Azzopardi.
Currently, the Prime Minister wants to introduce bizarre reforms that remove criminal liability from public officers. The reforms are unconstitutional and go against a long history of case law. However, these are the kind of people that would be protected by the Prime Minister’s proposed reforms: individuals accused of outright and blatant criminality, corruption and fraud.
