Rosianne Cutajar should be investigated by the tax department over her alleged involvement in a multi-million euro property deal involving Yorgen Fenech, parliament’s standards commissioner has advised.
George Hyzler concluded that the Labour MP and former junior minister most likely received a €46,500 brokerage payment she is alleged to have pocketed through the deal.
The commissioner’s investigation concluded that on the balance of probabilities, Cutajar acted as a broker in the deal and breached parliamentary ethical standards when she failed to declare her income from that 2019 property sale.
Hyzler had been asked to look into the matter by independent candidate Arnold Cassola after a Times of Malta report revealed that Cutajar had helped broker the sale of a €3.1 million Mdina property to Fenech.
