PN expresses serious concern over removal of two top FIAU officials

The news that two high FIAU officials were removed is an indication that Malta is now a lawless country, the PN said in a statement.

"The FIAU is the agency that investigated cases of alleged money laundering involving OPM Chief of Staff Keith Schembri and Minister Konrad Mizzi."

"Media reports indicate that the two high officials, the Head of Compliance  and the Head of Financial Analysis Section, were removed for no reason. The two people are persons with vast experience, one in a number of countries around the world and the other in the Maltese police force."

"These removals occurred just a few days after Finance Minister Edward Scicluna attacked and threatened the people who conducted these investigations, and tried to imply that the reports were written through political motivations."

"Government thinks that because it won the election it can kick everyone around. This is a situation regarding the collapse in the law of our country, and everyone who obeys the law should worry."

"The PN is determined to continue working in order for the principles of justice and the rule of law to again reign."
