Amidst Corruption Probe, Police Raid Maltese Ex-PM's Home
Maltese police raided on Wednesday the home of former Prime Minister, Joseph Muscat, as part of an ongoing corruption probe related to a deal between a U.S. healthcare company and the Maltese state, the Times of Malta reported.
Muscat served as prime minister of Mediterranean island from 2013 to 2020. The paper claims that Steward Healthcare indirectly paid him tens of thousands of euros at the time his government approved the U.S. company's takeover of hospitals concession from Maltese healthcare company Vitals Global Healthcare.
The deal was the focus of local investigative journalist Daphne Carauna Galizia when she was assassinated by car bomb in 2017. In 2019 OCCRP named Muscat Person of the Year in Organized Crime and Corruption, for the increase in criminality and lack of prosecution under his rule.
"Joseph Muscat's actions led to my mother's assassination," Galizia's son Andrew tweeted earlier this week, before the raid.
According to the Times of Malta, Muscat expected the investigators as he was prepared with a file to hand them when they arrived at his home in Burmarrad, northwest of Valletta.
After the hours-long search, he told reporters that he was only "half surprised."
"I gave the police a file that had been prepared since November. In November I asked to testify in the inquiry," he told the Times of Malta in a sit down interview in his home. "The file contains documented proof of the work I did. None of the work has anything to do with the Maltese hospitals."
Though suspicion has recently shifted onto Muscat, three other high level Maltese officials have been named in the VGH case, Edward Scicluna, Who leads Malta's Central Bank as well as former ministers Chris Cardona and Konrad Mizzi.

Muscat among people reassured by Fenech that messages had been deleted - Repubblika
It emerged over the past few days that the 17 Black owner had lost his mobile phone while visiting the United States late in 2018. He had then messaged several people, including Konrad Mizzi, telling them that he had "deleted Whatsapp."
"The story has a strong stench of money laundering. We are sure that the people at the FCID have smelled it ... so what are they waiting for to investigate Muscat?

Daphne Caruana Galizia: Malta businessman charged with complicity in murder
Yorgen Fenech: has been repeatedly questioned over the killing
He was identified last year as being the owner of a mysterious Dubai-registered company, 17 Black.
The investigation into Caruana Galizia's death has rocked the island's government.
Prime Minister Joseph Muscat is under pressure to resign.
His chief aide, Keith Schembri, quit this week amid reports he was being questioned by police, while Tourism Minister Konrad Mizzi also resigned and Economy Minister Chris Cardona took the decision to suspend himself.
Caruana Galizia had written about 17 Black eight months before her death, alleging it had links to both Keith Schembri and Konrad Mizzi.

https:// lovinmalta.com/opinion/analysis/what-this-new-17-black-story-means-for-keith-schembri-and-Konrad-Mizzi/
t turns out that the mysterious Dubai company 17 Black is owned by none other than Yorgen Fenech, the CEO of the powerful Tumas Group, which is one of the business partners in the Electrogas consortium running the LNG power station.
17 Black was one of two Dubai companies which were supposed to transfer monthly fees of ?150,000 to the Panama companies of Tourism Minister Konrad Mizzi and OPM chief of staff Keith Schembri.
Fenech opened a bank account in Dubai for 17 Black in June 2015, two months after Enemalta signed multiple contracts binding it to buy ?131.6 million worth of LNG from Electrogas yearly for ten years. At the time, Mizzi was Energy Minister, politically responsible for Enemalta.
Fenech's ownership of 17 Black is the fourth link between Mizzi's and Schembri's Panama companies and the LNG power station. Leaked documents from the Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (FIAU) had already shown how 17 Black had received ?161,000 from Mario Pullicino, the local agent for the tanker supplying gas to the LNG power station, and two separate payments amounting to ?1.1 million from an Azeri national. The Azerbaijan link is crucial as one of the three shareholders of Electrogas is Socar, the Azeri state-owned energy company.

>Constitutional Crisis in Malta
The 2019 Malta political crisis is an ongoing political and institutional crisis within the Republic of Malta following the uncovering of alleged links between government officials and the 2017 assassination of investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.[1][2][3] The Prime Minister's Chief of Staff Keith Schembri and Minister for Tourism Konrad Mizzi resigned[4] following the arrest of businessman Yorgen Fenech in connection with the murder.
On 1 December 2019 Prime Minister Joseph Muscat announced his intention to resign[5] on 12 January 2020[6] after increased pressure from protestors. An EU mission has called for his immediate resignation.[7] Constitutional experts, legal bodies and other representatives have claimed Muscat's decision to remain in office until January and to have a six week Parliamentary recess over Christmas has led to an unprecedented constitutional crisis.

What's happening in Malta?
In 2017 investigative journalist Caruana Galizia (pic related) was killed by a car bomb.
She was investigating Maltese corruption related to an energy company pay for play scene going all the way up to the Maltese Prime Ministers office. Sound familiar? The central company that sticks out is one 17 Black, a company registered in Qatar and owned by Yorgen Fenech, who was recently arrested while attempting to flee the country on his yacht. He was ratted out by one of his own guys. Money doesn't buy loyalty.
The two senior political figures concerned are Konrad Mizzi, who was Malta's energy minister from 2013 to 2016, and Keith Schembri (arrested today), the prime minister's chief of staff. Thanks to the Panama papers it was revealed Mizzi and Schembri stood to receive payments from 17 Black for services that were unspecified.
Working with 17 Black on the energy project were Siemens (Iran Nuclear Deal) and SOCAR ( Azerbaijani
Oil company accused of bribing U.S. congressmen in 2013 - https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/10-members-of-congress-took-trip-secretly-funded-by-foreign-government/2015/05/13/76b55332-f720-11e4-9030-b4732caefe81_story.html?noredirect=on ) forming Electrogas.
There's a lot here and goes deep. Middle East, Energy Company Payouts, Panama Papers, Assasination, and on and on. Which is why this woman lost her life.

[WATCH] Konrad Mizzi resigns, Chris Cardona suspends himself
Cabinet ministers Konrad Mizzi and Chris Cardona step down in wake of developments in Daphne Caruana Galizia murder investigation
Konrad Mizzi has tendered his resignation from minister while Chris Cardona has suspended himself as political pressure mounts on Joseph Muscat's government.
The resignations come hours after the Prime Minister's chief of staff Keith Schembri resigned his post.
They come hot on the heels of developments in the Daphne Caruana Galizia murder investigation.
Just after leaving an intense Cabinet meeting, Mizzi said he resigned from minister but would retain his parliamentary seat. "I have reflected hard… it is my duty to step down from minister so that the government will have the serenity to continue for its full term," Mizzi said.
He added that he took his decision out of loyalty to Joseph Muscat, the party and the country. Mizzi reiterated his stand that he had no direct or indirect connection to 17 Black and Yorgen Fenech.

Q Research General #4849: "Before POTUS departs on Friday" Edition
Exclusive: Mystery company named by murdered Maltese journalist is linked to power station developer
VALLETTA/DUBAI, (Reuters) - In February 2017, the Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia wrote in her blog about a mystery company in Dubai called 17 Black Limited. She alleged it was connected to Maltese politicians, but offered no evidence.
She was unable to discover who owned the company, and it remained unclear whether 17 Black had any significance.
Eight months later Caruana Galizia was killed by a car bomb, prompting an international outcry. No evidence has emerged that connects her death to any of her journalism. But her killing did renew interest in her many different claims, leading to media reports about such subjects as banking regulation and Malta's sale of passports. Now Reuters and other media have begun to unravel another mystery, that of 17 Black.
Two people familiar with the subject in Malta said a report by Malta's anti-money laundering watchdog had identified Yorgen Fenech, the chief executive of a Maltese property developer, as the owner of 17 Black. A third person familiar with the subject in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) said account records at a bank in Dubai identified Fenech as the owner of 17 Black. Reuters last month reviewed UAE banking correspondence that described Fenech as the owner and signatory of a 17 Black account at Noor Bank in Dubai.
Fenech is a director and co-owner of a business group that won a large energy concession from the Maltese state. In 2013, that group was granted the right by the Maltese government to build a 450 million euro ($517 million) gas power station on the island
The ownership of the company is significant because of another document, an email written in December 2015 by accountants for two senior figures in Malta's government. That email was discovered by Maltese financial regulators among documents obtained from the accountants' firm, according to a person briefed on the investigation. Its existence has been reported before and its authenticity has not been challenged.
The two senior political figures concerned are Konrad Mizzi, who was Malta's energy minister from 2013 to 2016, and Keith Schembri, the prime minister's chief of staff. Mizzi conceived and promoted the idea of offering the power station concession.
According to the December 2015 email, Panama companies owned by Mizzi and Schembri stood to receive payments from 17 Black for services that were unspecified. The email said the Panama companies expected 17 Black to be a "main target client," with payments of up to $2 million expected within a year. The email made no reference to the gas power station energy scheme and there is no evidence the payments went ahead.
It remains unclear why the Panama companies owned by two senior political figures expected to receive money from 17 Black.
