Relatives of a man who died last month after contracting the COVID-19 virus have accused his doctor and a notary of taking advantage of their brother, who allegedly changed his will leaving all his belongings to the doctor.
Alberta and Jane Mangion filed a judicial protest against Jan Chircop, son of the late Labour MP Karl Chircop, who they say took all of their brother’s possessions within an hour of his burial, and notary Joseph Cilia, a former Labour MP, who they claim committed irregularities in the publication of the will they were contesting.
The sisters explained that their brother, Mario Mangion, 69, died on February 5 just days after contracting the COVID-19 virus. The following day, just one hour after the burial, Chircop informed them that he was their brother’s universal heir and handed over a copy of what he claims was Mangion’s last will issued before notary Cilia last October.
