With reference to the article in The Sunday Times of Malta dated 17 January 2021 titled ‘Daphne murder suspect wants reduced jail term’, reference to the State Advocate is completely incorrect.
Both the State Advocate and the Office of the State Advocate have not been involved in any consideration of Mr Vincent Muscat’s request for a pardon.
The matter does not fall within the remit of the Office of the State Advocate. In fact, at no point was the advice of the State Advocate sought on the matter.
