Media coverage ‘led to my company being shut down’
April 28, 2021 1:54 PM
Nexia BT founder and managing partner Brian Tonna insisted that the Panama companies which ended up in the hands of Keith Schembri and Konrad Mizzi – as well as Egrant – had not been acquired with any specific intent in mind as he continued his testimony in front of Parliament’s Public Affairs Committee on Wednesday.
In his third appearance in front of the committee with more to come, Tonna – currently out on bail after being charged with money laundering and other financial crimes – repeatedly insisted that the firm he had founded had been unfairly targeted by the media and elsewhere, leading to its closure.
