The front page story on The Malta Independent on Sunday which claims that the Prime Minister knew of allegations with regards to an alleged visa scam is a blatant lie trying to maliciously mislead its readers according to a statement from the Office of the Prime Minister.
In this case, and whenever the Prime Minister received any allegations, he has always taken the appropriate action and passed any information to the relevant authorities. It is simply a vicious spin that in this case he acted differently.
The journalist relies on a personal message of Ben Nasan to reach the wrong conclusion that this person is “close” to the Prime Minister and that he was going to meet in the PM’s office.
This is nothing short of another deliberate blatant lie by the journalist as the Office of the Prime Minister said in its reply to The Malta Independent on Sunday that “the said person (Khaled Ben Nasan) also insisted regularly in getting further private meetings with the Prime Minister but these were refused after he did not pass the necessary clearances”.
