We are all made of the same stuff
I found the comments in Tuesday’s articles about my late husband, Frans Sammut, refusing to start a blog very interesting indeed.
Some commentators were sceptic about the veracity of my son’s testimony! Is it true that some people can be so naive? Is there anything to be sceptic about? I can vouch that the testimony is as true as the fact that I’m writing this letter!
There were those who claimed that they were friends and even close friends to my late husband; still no one ever came forward offering any help, nor did anyone lend a helping hand when we, as a family, were in need.
Every day for 17 years, Antonio Gatt and his family lived in fear of what the court was going to decide after he was charged with conspiring to deal in drugs.
The family knew he was innocent – all he had done was collect a parcel, containing what he believed to be auto parts, for his brother.
But the wait was a nightmare, prolonged through no fault of their own, until the day, nearly two decades later, that he was cleared of all charges.
“The day my husband was arrested was the day the catastrophe began. We were victims for 17 long years,” his wife, Catherine, 67, says.
