It may be costing taxpayers €50,000 a day and more than twice as much as it should be, but the Maltese police have decided not to investigate the illegal direct order awarded by the State-owned St Vincent De Paul elderly home to James Caterers and a subsidiary of DB Group.
The police told Lovin Malta that they requested a meeting with the National Audit Office following its lengthy report publication last week. The meeting was held and “it resulted that at this stage a police investigation is not necessary”.
Lovin Malta also asked the NAO’s office whether it was satisfied with the government’s reply to its report, which was simply to pledge never to repeat such mistakes.
