Dikjarazzjoni ta’ Richard Cachia Caruan, serħilna rasna li m’għandux x’jaqsam mal-Panama Papers

Kull min jaf lil Richard Cachia Caruana jaf kemm hu control freak u li għandu ossessjoni li jrid kollox perfett. Għal preċiżjoni, ħadd ma qal li għandu kumpanija fil-Panama jew f’xi tax haven ieħor minn dak li ħareġ sa issa.

Meta sar magħruf li l-kumpanija li magħha jaħdem Richard Cachia Caruana hija laktar kumpanija li għandha xogħol fil-Panama u l-BVI mill-Maltin msemmija, l-Independent kienet pronta bgħatet għar-reazzjoni ta’ Richard Cachia Caruana biex iserħilna rasna li hu m’għandux x’jaqsam mat-72 klijent li għandha l-kumpanija t’oħtu.

Dan hu l-istatement ta’ Cachia Caruana kif ippublikah hu stess fuq il-Facebook page tiegħu;

Statement sent to the Malta Independent following request received from this newspaper:

Richard Cachia Caruana holds no shares in companies in Panama, the British Virgin Islands or any other tax haven and has never held any.

Richard Cachia Caruana has not provided advice about the opening or otherwise of companies in Panama, the British Virgin Islands or any other tax haven at any stage of his professional career.

Richard Cachia Caruana has no conflicts of interest between his personal holdings and any State interests and has never had any.

Richard Cachia Caruana’s relationship with EMD is solely to provide this firm and its clients with advice on EU related matters and he has never had any shareholding or other financial interest in the firm nor has he ever held any directorships or management positions with the firm.

The current attempts by members of the Prime Minister’s staff to imply any connection between the Panama Papers and Richard Cachia Caruana are therefore totally deceitful.
