The question everyone is asking is:

If works which started 7 years ago (in 2009) are not ready yet, why did the Deputy Opposition Leader feel the need to pay only after the Times Managing Director resigned, when no one questioned Demarco’s works on his private properties?

If as Mario Demarco said invoices were to be issued at the end of the works, and works are still ongoing now, why was an invoice issued exactly after the Hillman story came out?

The Deputy Opposition Leader who was a minister at the time, should be answering on the clear breach of ministerial ethics. The explanation he gives is simply not credible.

There is now no doubt that the businessman in question mentioned in the Panama Papers is linked to Mario de Marco, and other top echelons in The Times of Malta.

Earlier in the day, Mario de Marco denied having done anything wring and justified the late payment because he claims that works are ongoing.
