The court expert did not confirm that Keith Schembri’s phone was sealed in an evidence bag
There’s a mistake on MaltaToday’s reporting about the ongoing court shenanigans of Keith Schembri’s mobile phone, and I could confirm this with witnesses to the court case. I think the mistake is a simple omission or oversight, and I can vouch for journalist Matthew Agius. However, the court expert did not confirm that Keith Schembri’s…

Magistrate Donatella Frendo Dimech holds court to exculpate herself
Today, Magistrate Donatella Frendo Dimech held a court session exclusively and primarily to exculpate herself regarding Keith Schembri’s missing phone.

The Shift News covered the story that Mark Vassallo and Edward Gatt are representing the Malta Film Commission. Recently, the Malta Film Commission hosted the Maltese judiciary on…

The Labour Party criminal lawyers who specialise in Greek tragedy, comedy and film
It is funny to know that Rosianne Cutajar’s lawyers, Edward Gatt and Mark Vassallo are on a government retainer with the Film Commission. This makes perfect sense because they have shown quite a talent in making movie-like Greek tragi-comedy scenes out of their clients. If you have a great unfulfilled masochistic desire to open a…

Crooks judging crooks
Despite being totally corrupt, Joseph Muscat tried to constantly keep up appearances and for a good deal of time, lied his way through successfully with the help of an effective and sophisticated propaganda machine. This time round, Robert Abela has no pretensions about the standards of government, cabinet and parliamentary group wallowing to the level…
