The Nationalist Party has remained awkwardly silent over the Labour government’s reforms that decriminalised acts of tax fraud and money laundering in exchange for tax payments, after a number of suspected criminals — all of them connected to the Labour Party — made use of these newly established privileges.
The individuals being investigated for money laundering who have made use of these new provisions include Christian Borg, Aron Mifsud Bonnici, Nigel Scerri, and potentially also Yorgen Fenech among others.
The law was strongly supported by the Nationalist Party’s spokesperson for justice, Joe Giglio, who continues to serve as a criminal lawyer in court, and the law is also set to benefit his clients.
One Nationalist MP who has been vocal against the law is Albert Buttigieg, but he appears to be an exception among his colleagues, who have largely remained silent over the apparent conflicts of interest involving Joe Giglio.
