In a statement released by the Labour Party in response to a report published earlier today where it was alleged that Prime Minister Robert Abela had instructed certain Police Officers not to interrogate individuals involved in the magisterial inquiry concerning the Vitals Global Healthcare and Steward Healthcare concession.
The Prime Minister, however, categorically and absolutely denies ever issuing such instructions, calling the report malicious.
The Party stated that decisions regarding who is to be interrogated or brought before a criminal court are exclusively within the authority of the Executive Police and the Attorney General and alleged that the Prime Minister was completely uninvolved in these decisions and did not interfere with the functions of these institutions in any way.
The statement also shared that reportedly under leadership of Robert Abela, Malta has implemented a series of reforms focused on enhancing the rule of law, with an emphasis on ensuring that various institutions operate independently and without external influence.
These reforms have also been acknowledged by European institutions, with the European Commission’s latest report highlighting notable improvements and progress in this area.
