More lies more libels

After the latest blatant lie by the Times of Malta, Minister Konrad Mizzi announced that he will file another libel against the Times of Malta following the publication of yet another outright lie.

The Times of Malta alleged that in Konrad Mizzi’s due diligence questionnaire submitted by Nexia, the estate planning category was not listed and ticked is an outright lie.

The estate planning generally category was ticked in the said questionnaire. Dr Mizzi will be filing a libel against the Times of Malta and will be presenting evidence in court.

“These attacks are systematic and in the past the Times of Malta had to retract other allegations made” Minister Mizzi said in his statement.

He also added “I have reiterated consistently in the past weeks, the Rotorua Trust and related structure was solely intended as a family trust for assets and investments and whose beneficiaries are my wife and my children. The prospective investments include the leveraging of the existing house in London and future investments which will seek to attain a reasonable return for the beneficiaries”.

Today’s story seems to be another attempt to invent new angles, which clearly do not exist. It is evident that this will continue and in light of the coordinated attack across multiple channels aimed at character assassination. Different sources and websites will continue to rehash flawed and untrue stories.

It is comical that over the past weeks so many contradictory and false motivations were presented for the Trust set-up which included inexistent commissions, monies from Azerbaijan, millions allegedly earned before entering politics, benefits from GASOL share transfer, alleged commissions from the agreement with Shanghai Electric Power among many others.

Minister Mizzi insists “This strategy demonstrates that a character assassination campaign directed at myself is being pursued by various quarters, including the Nationalist Party, so as to dampen the results being obtained by this Government in various fields”.

This seems to be the only way left for the PN after that the Government has achieved excellent results in many sectors such as energy, health, civil liberties and employment.

In conclusion Mizzi reiterated “I am committed to work harder than ever to accelerate delivery of projects and initiatives for the benefit of all”.

Hopefully this web if lies will not go unpunished.
