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…

First as tragedy, then as farce
You would expect that after Angelo Gafa humiliated his own officers by placing young recruits on duty against muscled guys from Eastern Europe working for criminal organisations, the Police to hit back against these muscled guys and organised groups. Raids, arrests, investigations. An armoured police unit in Paceville in a show of force. Having a…
