Off to Tibet and Tanzania with Francine Farrugia

—

News headlines are currently filled with stories about Francine Farrugia who is being charged in Court for embezzling up to €2.3 million from MCAST where she worked as a financial manager. Apart from buying properties, jewelry and luxury items, during the time she was defrauding the government, she also took a series of holidays some of which are quite expensive for a government employee. She also owned a post-office in Siġġiewi which has now been closed.

Francine Farrugia traveled to Tanzania and Tibet among the places she visited from 2023 to 2024. She didn’t seem to make much effort to hide her illicit gains in her eagerness to share her travels with her friends.

For the Maltese government, €2.3 million is a lot of money. It takes a great deal of narcissism and psychopathy to loot so much from the Maltese public purse, small as it is, but I think I understand where she may have got the example from.

    What responsibility will be assumed by the two deputy principals responsible for the finance department during the period? Or are they just paid their mega salaries to shake hands with the minister and smile for the cameras?

    I would like to know wether the Nationalist Party did any due deligence regarding her property, luxurious lifestyle and all the travelling she did before accepting her as a candidate for local council elections.

        Punt tajjeb kieku Benny staqsa x’sar minnhom ir-rapporti li l-awditur ghadda lill- ministeru ta’ l-edukazzjoni fl-2019 u fl-2023! Ghaliex ma ttihdidtx l-edba azzjoni meta l-awditur sab diffetti enormi fis-sistema tal-finanzi fl-Mcast?
        U mela tippruvaw titfghu l-htija fuq l-PN, li mill-ewwel giehel lil din is- sinjorina tirrizenja minnu, u kkundanna bl-ebda riserva dawn il-frodi?
        Ara il-PL, meta ex-segretarju generali tieghu gie MISJUB hati mill-qrati Maltin ta’ fridi, baqa sieket qisu ma gara xejn. Misdu Benny staqsa jekk il PL ghamilx audit check fuqu meta tah paga mal-gvern( li tithallas min but il-Maltin) halli suppost kien jghamel xoghol tajjeb u mhux jara kif se jdarrar lira zejda.

    Leave the woman alone. Can you stop picking on her? She is self-empowered and independent. If you have a problem with misogyny, please solve it before going to the keyboard.
