PN MPs Stack Mock Pile Of 226kg Of Drugs In Front Of Parliament

Feb 26 2025

The Nationalist Party (PN) held a press conference in regards to the ‘major security breach’ following a theft of 226kg of drugs from a high-security facility within the Armed Forces of Malta’s (AFM) Safi Barracks.

At a press conference held outside Parliament, Shadow Ministers Albert Buttigieg and Graziella Attard Previ stood in front of a large pile of packages representing the stolen drugs to highlight the scale of the issue.

The PN questioned how such a massive quantity of drugs could be stolen from a secure military facility without anyone noticing or taking responsibility.

They stressed that the incident should serve as a serious warning to the government, arguing that national security has been severely compromised.

The fact that only a small portion of the stolen drugs has been recovered offers little reassurance to the public, they said.

Additionally, the party criticised the Police Commissioner’s press conference, stating it failed to provide clear answers regarding the heist, the arrests made, and the security measures in place.

They also condemned the Prime Minister for rejecting a parliamentary debate on the issue and a Motion of No Confidence in Minister Byron Camilleri, who oversees the AFM.

The PN concluded that political responsibility must be taken for the incident and reiterated calls for Camilleri’s resignation.

OPM Releases Terms Of Reference For AFM Drug Heist Inquiry

Feb 26 2025

The Office of the Prime Minister has released the terms of reference for an administrative inquiry investigating the circumstances behind a drug theft that took place at the AFM’s Safi Barracks on Saturday night.

A total of 225kg of cannabis resin was stolen from a container that was being stored there on behalf of the law courts, as it was evidence in a magisterial inquiry. The stolen drugs were part of a larger seizure intercepted at Malta Freeport in June.

The inquiry, led by retired judge Geoffrey Valenzia, is set to conclude by March 14 and aims to:

Examine the facts, procedures, legal framework, and systems that led to the court exhibits being stored under the AFM’s custody.

Assess whether adequate security measures were in place.

Investigate the actions taken by different entities involved in the case and determine any connections between them.

Provide recommendations on necessary regulatory and administrative improvements.

Additionally, Judge Valenzia has been asked to advise the government on whether his findings should be made public, considering judicial and security concerns.
