DISGRACED FORMER PRIME MINISTER JOSEPH MUSCAT'S STRANGE MEETING WITH CORRUPT GENERAL SADDAM HAFTAR MEANS LIBYAN MONEY LAUNDERING THROUGH MALTA IS ALIVE AND WELL

In what must be regarded as a highly unusual event in the Republic of Malta, SADDAM HAFTAR, the Deputy Commander of the army of the separatist military dictatorship in Benghazi, met there with the cashiered former Prime Minister, JOSEPH MUSCAT, as well as with a number of active duty government officials, including the Foreign Minister and Minister of the Interior. Muscat, once named as the most corrupt government official in the European Union, is believed to be about to be named as a conspirator, in the upcoming trial regarding the assassination of investigative reporter Daphne Caruana Galizia.

Given the allegations that attorneys and financial services professionals closely associated with Muscat were involved in major money money laundering operations for KHALIFA HAFTAR, the Commanding General of the Benghazi faction, we question the permission given for Saddam to travel to Malta for any purpose. Muscat, as a private citizen , has no authority to act for Malta, but it appears that he was acting as an intermediary in this case. Haftar's regime is not formally recognized by the United States.
