Gang wars are back: Gordon Debono lashes out at Joseph Muscat
Gordon Debono, a previous fuel smuggler who is currently facing charges of money-laundering himself, has lashed out at Joseph Muscat upon news of his criminal charges. I find Gordon Debono’s invective quite amusing given he has been one of Malta’s notorious fuel smugglers during the Libyan Civil-War. Indeed, he has plenty of reasons to be…

The organised criminals that rose from John Rizzo’s ashes of war
After waging a total war on drugs and consequently subduing Malta’s organised criminals into submission, the history of organised crime in Malta took an unexpected turn that changed the criminal landscape and laid the foundations for the soon-to-be-minted organised criminals and groups that would dominate Malta’s newly set-up illegal markets: this was the Libyan civil…

Too many witnesses say the same thing on Magistrate Donatella Frendo Dimech
When I reported that Magistrate Donatella Frendo Dimech dined with oil smuggler Darren Debono last December I omitted an important guest, intentionally, and my omission allowed me to understand the story even further. I have spoken to other people since then who have seen Magistrate in other places as well. First of all, it is…

Magistrate Donatella Frendo Dimech has been accused of dining with Darren Debono last December
There’s a reason why testimonies have claimed that magistrate Donatella Frendo Dimech had dinner with a criminal suspect charged in front of her. Donatella Frendo Dimech is being accused of dining with Darren Debono at Jean Paul Sammut’s in Sliema last December. The reason why this story should be published is because the accusations have…

Malta’s impunity for dirty oil traders
The biggest story in my latest book “A Rent-Seeker’s Paradise” was how dirty oil trader Darren Debono became the biggest trader of contraband Libyan oil after the previous players in this illegal industry, were pushed out of the business by a coordinated police operation. Darren Debono was abetted and supported by Keith Schembri, Konrad Mizzi…
