DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN CONCERNING THE SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF MALTA'S MONEY LAUNDERING PROSECUTOR ARRIVES

                                           

Muscat gets Bitten by COSIMO

It seems that, no sooner had Maltese prosecutor Karl Muscat's body been discovered than a ruthless campaign of disinformation, misinformation, and false rumours began to build a fictional narrative, all intended to mislead Malta's public about the death of the money laundering prosecutor. Whilst no official  information was released, the local press received news, in what must have been record time for the Malta Police, of purported autopsy results, alleging heart failure of a man in his early forties, which is a definite red flag for any forensic investigator. There is something dodgy about this case, hence the explosion of misinformation.

Then the paid Labour trolls chimed in with their various versions of what they claimed the truth to be, on Facebook and elsewhere on social media. One definitely concluded that it was suicide, due to his suspension by the Attorney General on bogus grounds. Another asserted that he was a "blue baby" at birth, with a long history of heart trouble Still a third troll openly stated that he suffered a heart attack due to work and/or political stress, and even went so far as to blame his former PN political affiliation for his death. We call this a coordinated troll response. 

You can usually find most of that garbage on the Comments posted to MT articles, a supposedly objective news publication which most EU compliance officers recognize is often employed as a propaganda arm of the Labour Party in news articles favorable to PL or attacking the Opposition. They usually rely upon TOM for accurate information. MT were the first to break the news, with a coordinated leak from the Malta Police Force to MT management (not journalists), MT being normally the first mouthpiece for government propaganda. 

 They never stop with the propaganda when called to respond to unfavourable news, and in this case, given the suspicious nature of his death, the trolls have been working overtime to create a bogus narrative that they think the voters will believe. We call that planting the seed of doubt. Will the truth surface? Don't bet on it, but you can bet that the leadership of the European Union is watching the case very closely. Not to mention Italian law enforcement agencies.
