Updated at 3:28pm with notary Joseph Cilia counter protest
Doctor Jan Chircop has refuted claims made by relatives of a COVID-19 victim that he took advantage of their brother to acquire his inheritance.
The sisters had filed a judicial protest against Chircop and notary Joseph Cilia, a former Labour MP, accusing them of irregularities in their brother’s will.
Mario Mangion, 69, died on 5 February, days after he contracted COVID-19. The sisters said that an hour after Mangion’s burial, Chircop informed them that he was their brother’s sole heir, handing them a copy of the victim’s last will and testament that was compiled before notary Cilia.
