Yesterday, we explained how the work by Home Affairs Minister Byron Camilleri to bring back Paul Attard to Malta is not linked to any legal injustice or a request by the Police. The Home Affairs Minister’s original intention was not to extradite Lilu l-King either, so the prisoner-swap exchange is mainly being conditioned by the humanitarian interests of Paul Attard. The national and security aspect in these decisions is missing completely, and Paul Attard is also being portrayed by the Maltese government as an innocent man, which is contrary to his historical record and investigations by the Police.
The Home Affairs Minister is ignoring Malta’s security and policing aspects with regard to Libya, so much so that Jomic Calleja Maatouk remains a wanted man in Malta, after allegedly murdering his wife, Marzia Calleja Maatouk in Libya. Supposedly, the Maltese authorities would have urged the Libyan authorities to address Jomic’s case who is allegedly under arrest in Libya, and potentially extradite him to face justice in Malta after facing justice in Libya. Instead of looking for a suspected murderer on the run, the Home Affairs Minister prefers to put his efforts into releasing a suspected serial smuggler.
