Prime Minister Robert Abela has told embattled MP Rosianne Cutajar that she must resolve her tax disputes this week or risk losing the support of the Labour Party.
The PL’s parliamentary group met on Friday and discussed, among other things, Cutajar’s position and future within the group.
Sources said Abela had made it clear that the fact Cutajar was the subject of an ongoing investigation into her taxes was undermining his own credibility as leader and that of the party.
“The prime minister stressed that as long as Rosianne Cutajar is being investigated by the Tax Department, he cannot be seen as credible. It will also undermine any criticism of (opposition leader) Bernard Grech’s own tax irregularities, for example,” one Labour MP said.
