Lawyer Frank Testa has been appointed to lead the inquiry into allegations that two young Gozitan men were given permission to change their police statement after they had originally admitted to trafficking drugs, a government statement has read.
The allegation, which was revealed by MaltaToday and took place in 2014, claims that the men were able to change their statements after two government officials intervened following a meeting with the men's father in Victoria. The Prime Minister yesterday ordered an inquiry into the matter.
"After the meeting the two young men were given the opportunity to change their police statements - which they did - with the new statement completely contradicting their original declarations," the paper claims. The two men were not prosecuted.
