NGO Repubblika said the recent case of Christian Borg led the organisation to conclude that there was collusion between prosecution and defence so that “criminal friends of the prime minister” get away scot-free in court.
It is alleged that Borg committed perjury when he was appearing in another court. The sitting magistrate in that court ordered that Borg be prosecuted on a perjury charge.
All that the police needed to do was to present a transcript of the sitting where the alleged perjury took place.
All they had to do was to summon the Registrar of that Court to confirm what happened at that sitting.
This is simple and basic, yet the police did nothing of the sort.
“In any other court, we would have an apology by the Advocate General and the Commissioner of Police, plus whoever was responsible would have been punished. This was no mistake: the silence of these two shows the open corruption of the prosecution service,” Repubblika said.
This was the auto-sabotage by the police of a case which they had been ordered to present by the other court.
“This is what is happening to our country”, Repubblika concluded, that criminal friends of Robert Abela were doing what they wanted and that the police made to damage their cases.

It is all so blatant! Not even an attempt to hyde the obvious collusion.
Making mockery of justice. What a shame.

That’s Gafa for you. Chocolate fireguard springs to mind. But really when has this guy been an actual policeman and arrested the bad guys? Don’t see any stories in the papers,so why is he still in the job?
It’s who you know,not what you know as Gafa does nothing as Commissioner of Police.

Truly a Mafia state, a government made of gangsters!
The rule of law is on life support but ?kap? has other commitments thank you very much! Instead of being at the forefront of public outrage he prefers to let others do the dirty work. As our democracy founders, Grech contents himself with opposing in Parliament and largely irrelevant Sunday sermons. The surveys are sending out a clear message but Grech persists in the ostrich approach!
Tal-biki!
I truly despair of what’s happening in Malta. How can it be possible in an EU country?
Mur afda l pulizija biex jinvestigaw u iresqu n nies ghal gustizzja! Min ser jinvestiga lil Gafa w lil Buttigieg??
