Fake Taxi Licenses Being Issued: PN MP Shares Leaked Chat

Jun 20 2023

Nationalist MP Adrian Delia took to social media to share what seems to be a circulating WhatsApp chat wherein an individual is being offered a fake taxi license.

The recipient of the message states that their ‘service’ offers ‘tag service without stress for Maltese drivers in taxi and bus for Malta Public Transport.’

They then go on to ask which category vehicle the person would like, whether it’s PTV or LPTV. After the person responds with LPTV, the recipient responds with:

‘It will cost you €500 for the complete process of your driving license tag without any test or practicals’, effectively skipping over the very important and only legal way to gain a taxi license in Malta.

‘The information that I have indicates that these are falsified tags’, wrote Delia. ‘If these drivers are commuting around our roads with said tags, they are doing so illegally.’

Delia pointed out that this creates a massive danger for Maltese roads, and urged Transport Malta to reveal whether any action has been taken against this abuse.

Andriy explains that mother and son hadn’t been together for 5 weeks and so decided to surprise her at the salon after having received a message from one of her colleagues.

He sneaks into the salon and asks his as of yet unaware mother that he needs a haircut.

His mother immediately jumps onto him for a hug and lands some kisses. With everyone in tears, Andriy is then surprised to find a tiny poster of ‘Vote For Andriy’.

‘I still got eliminated’, he jokes.

This comes after he released a post speaking about his experience in the villa, saying that his goal from the very start of his Love Island experience was to be himself.

‘I think everyone knows that it was a little rough for me to find something truly compatible, but I did my part and I’m very happy with where I got’, he explained.

‘I thank each and every single one of you who rooted for me and the others. Rita and Mary to be continued…’

We’re not crying! You are!
