Mark Camilleri declares he is ready to continue defying court orders and does not give two hoots about the Maltese police investigations.

Last night, Mark Camilleri issued the following declaration.

It is clear from what Mark Camilleri wrote that he is adamant about defying court orders and will avoid a police interrogation or possibly arrest. From the content of this message, it is also clear that he has left the island. However, I would like to point out that when I wrote a blog about his whereabouts in Spain, last year, Camilleri sent an email to Police Commissioner Gafa imploring his protection! In other words, the Commissioner of Police knows his whereabouts and where he lives in Spain. Therefore, this pseudo-journalist in the past has been under police protection.

It is a fact that the police have never seriously investigated the leaks related to bans imposed by the magistrate’s court on specific publication of data related to the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia. This came out yesterday in court during the proceedings instituted by the court registrar against me for allegedly publishing recordings related to the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia, on which there is a court ban. In this sitting, facts were presented under oath confirming that the police has never seriously investigated the source behind the publication of this banned material!

Camilleri prides himself to be part of the rule of law when he himself is breaking the law:

What also comes out from Camillieri’s message is that he is clashing with his lawyers. This is a self-admitted confession that Camilleri knew about the court bans and wilfully broke them and wants to continue showing distain for the rule of law. Undoubtedly, the person or persons who have leaked banned information related to Yorgen Fenech’s court proceedings must have police protection. In other words, the person or persons who leaked them are more than a friend of the police. If this situation was to happen in a serious European country like the UK, the Commissioner of Police would have been asked to resign for failing to do his duty properly in finding out the real source of these leaks.

Camilleri has now publicly admitted that he does not give two hoots what the law of the land states. This person finds support from organizations in Malta who pride themselves to be the defenders of the rule of law and also from Matthew Caruana Galizia. It is now clear that from the time that Malta joined the EU, a legal culture of impunity and corruption has taken over the island. Furthermore, Camilleri has this to say about these leaks:

“I will keep my word when I say that any corrupt politician or anyone remotely involved in the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia who opens a libel case against me, I will mop the fucking floor with you, break your spirit, ruin your political career and make sure you eventually end up in prison. It doesn’t matter if you are a woman, a man, or non-binary: I’m an equal opportunities employer and I’ll fucking destroy you whoever you are and wherever you come from. And just so that you know, my will to ruin you is so great to the extent that I take it personally because, after all, I lost my place in the party and the government because of you. Take me seriously because is not a game, but very serious business.“

The contents of this message is very serious. It is tantamount to threatening behaviour. It is clear that Camilleri has protection from higher echelons when he writes in such a threatening way. At the same time, he admits why he is forging an alliance with the PN. He is not doing it out of a shared principle or for a common fight against corruption but because he wants to vindicate himself of all those politicians within the Labour Party whom he is accusing of having been responsible for losing his once privileged position within the said party. It is with this sort of individual that Michael Piccinino and Roberta Metsola have struck a political alliance!
