What steps will the Attorney General take after the Swiss authorities rejected the request for assistance in the criminal proceedings against former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, his Chief of Staff Keith Schembri, and others linked to the hospital fraud and the theft of more than 400 million euros?
Repubblika is concerned following the response from the Swiss authorities, which was presented in court yesterday. Media reports indicate that there was missing information.
We believe that the Maltese authorities should explain whether the Maltese request was made properly. We expect that if there was any shortcoming, responsibility should be taken and a proper request should be made.
The hospital fraud case is extremely serious. This involves the theft of more than 400 million euros in the healthcare sector, involving individuals who held public office.
We expect full justice to be served and we will continue to insist that it is.
