Step-daughter of Darren Debono, Floren Sultana, who currently faces money laundering charges, has also been charged with the same crime along with a former high-ranking BNF Bank official Albert Buttigieg. The two are accused of fronting companies and laundering money linked to oil smuggling, but have pleaded not guilty for the charges filed against them.

Sultana is known as being one of the faces in a 2013 PL electoral ad ‘Courage to Vote.’ The two were subject to search and arrest warrants last year following investigations into oil smugglers Darren Debono and Jeffrey Chetcuti. Sultana is the former director of Nesvan Company Ltd and MSI Catering Ltd whilst Buttigieg is the director of Luzzu Catering Ltd, who operate Porticello and Capo Mulini respectively.

A group of local developers have launched their app ‘Ras il-Fuq’ on the Google Play store, where players must ‘try to guess the politicians, singer, song, influencer’ and more while one player holds the phone on their forehead and the others have to guess while excitedly shouting clues.

Already endorsed by the likes of Luke Lyttleton, Ira Losco, Jacqui Losco and Stephanie Agius amongst others, this game looks promising.

Study says humans only need eight hour work weeks

Study says humans only need eight hour work weeks
Apr 13 2021 Share

A 2019 study published in Social Science and Medicine titled ‘A shorter working week for everyone: How much paid work is needed for mental health and well-being’ has revealed that humans only need eight hours a week to get the psychological benefits of working. This is a scope for the working week to be radically reduced, especially given a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has forced employers to reassess working environments.

The study also argues that artificial intelligence could result in significant shortages of paid work but an alternative option could be to reduce the working week. The study used data extracted from 80,000 people. Sociologist and author Daiga Kamerade stated that work is like ‘taking Vitamin C – we all need a certain dose, but taking it more than necessary does not bring any additional health benefits.’
