Hugo Chetcuti’s son lashes at Peppi Azzopardi for ‘protecting murderers’

Nov 8 2021

The son of the late Maltese entrepreneur Hugo Chetcuti, Luke, lashed out at Xarabank host Peppi Azzopardi’s post about abolishing solitary confinement.

Uploading a lengthy story onto Instagram, Luke Chetcuti rhetorically asked the presenter and campaigners ‘Maybe if it was your dad laying cold in his grave you would think differently?’

Azzopardi has been calling for the end of the practice of solitary confinement. This can only mandated by court order under Maltese law. It can last a maximum of 10 days with an interval of two months between each period.

This follows a post by Peppi Azzopardi claiming that four men with experience of solitary confinement were being silenced. One of the four men facing confinement is Bojan Cmelik, the man who murdered Chetcuti.

‘When I visit my dad at his grave he can’t speak to me, or anybody else, because he is in an indefinite solitary confinement state due to death through murder at the hands of one of the prisoners you so nobly defend’ said Luke.

He expressed his sadness at telling his kids that their grandfather is dead and that his last memory of him was that of a medic jumping on his chest attempting to save his life.

Rosianne Cutajar calls out insult directed at Michelle Muscat

Nov 8 2021

Following a post uploaded by Alessandra Dee Crespo insulting Michelle Muscat, PL MP Rosianne Cutajar condemned the the double-standard.

This follows Dee Crespo’s recounting of receiving insults as she camped outside the Floriana police head quarters. Cutajar stated that if these insults were actually true, they are to be condemned.

However, she highlighted a post made by Dee Crespo herself insulting Michelle Muscat’s new look. ‘Now this beats having your curtains sewn for free, doesn’t it, my deer?’ posted Dee Crespo.

Cutajar reshared this, highlighting how this was not the first time Dee Crespo directed such insults at other individuals. ‘What will the Curia do this time as it faces a chancellor of the second instance in the Archbishop’s tribunal?’

‘Will it condemn Alessandra in the same justified manner that it condemned insults directed at a Nationalist MP’ she asked, referring to the insults faced by Emma Portelli Bonnici.

‘Will Repubblika disassociate itself as well?’ asked Cutajar. ‘Or does their winning a press freedom award give them license to foster hate and insult others?’ She concluded saying that attacking a woman for the way she looks in 2021 is pathetic.
