Electrogas shareholder Paul Apap Bologna invoked his right to silence infront of the Public Accounts Committee when confronted over questions on his offshore company Kittiwake and Yorgen Fenech's 17 Black.
During the meeting on Wednesday, Nationalist MP Karol Aquilina asked Apap Bologna whether he owned any foreign companies that were involved in the Electrogas projects, alluding to his secret United Arab Emirates company that is identical to 17 Black.
Aquilina asked whether there had been any agreement between 17 Black and Kittiwake, whereby Kittiwake was being used to funnel payments to a third party.
When Aquilina put forward the first question asking about foreign companies, Apap Bologna's lawyer Gianella Demarco immediately said that he will be invoking his right to silence.
