Former footballers arrested in connection with fuel smuggling ring
Local
Former Maltese footballers Darren Debono and Jeffrey Chetcuti, amongst others, have been arrested in connection with a large-scale international fuel-smuggling ring.
Accountant Chris Baldacchino and criminal lawyer Arthur Azzopardi were also arrested and interrogated for a suspected involvement in money-laundering activities. Debono and Chetcuti’s arrest result from a number of anti-smuggling raids held overnight.
The Times of Malta and The Daphne Project had reported Malta’s placement in the centre of a multi-million dollar fuel-smuggling ring, where stolen fuel from Libya is sold and traded from Maltese storage facilities.
