Joseph Muscat will never ditch former chief of staff Keith Schembri

Joseph Muscat will never ditch former chief of staff Keith Schembri
Aug 22 2021 Share

Former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat affirmed his bond with former chief of staff Keith Schembri during his second interview with Times of Malta. Despite allegations to cover up the murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia and money laundering charges, Schembri was still defended by the former prime minister who stated;

‘Time and the course of affairs will tell us what his role was in all these things. And I am not going to judge him in advance.’ He insisted that investigators never flagged Schembri to him, with Muscat having resigned in January 2020 following Schembri’s arrest in connection with the assassination. Muscat reveals that he had cut off contact with his old friend for a while but resumed it when he became aware of his ill health. He also defended some of Schembri’s other actions when he was chief of staff. Muscat stated that he might be wrong or right in this, but he will never ditch him.

Neptunes declared 2021 champions with 27th title

Neptunes declared 2021 champions with 27th title
Aug 22 2021 Share

Neptunes claimed the 2021 champion title after beating rivals San Giljan 10-6. This earned them their ninth title in 12 years, as well as their 27th title in their 93-year-old history. After their accumulating successes were halted by Sliema in their previous match, the athletes managed to bring their A game for this match and managed to regain their footing, placing them four titles away from the record held by Sliema. 

The first man-up set by Jake Muscat breached San Giljan’s defences, with the latter picking up the score after it was made 3-1. Neptunes however boosted up their score as Jordan Camilleri made four out of four man up sets. The game’s defining moment came from Steven Camilleri who beat the buzzer to give his side two goals, with Jake Muscat wrapping up the title. This is a historical event for Neptunes, celebrating their 27th title gleefully.

Italian man shoots at supermarket security who told him to wear a mask

Italian man shoots at supermarket security who told him to wear a mask
Aug 22 2021 Share

Authorities in Italy are searching for a man who shot at a security official for not allowing him to enter a supermarket without a mask. The incident happened in Finocchio, a locality close to Rome, with the man being turned away from the shop and returning minutes later with a firearm. 

The man allegedly shot at the security official but, fortunately, did not hit his mark, hitting a cabinet instead. The man escaped the scene, with police arriving shortly afterwards to investigate. The official stated that the man was Italian but not a shop regular. Authorities are using security cameras to identify the man and take the necessary actions. Investigations are still ongoing.
