Investigating tax evasions cases is being given top priority by the police, Deputy Police Commissioner Alexandra Mamo told a financial crimes conference on Thursday.
Mamo said Malta’s vulnerability to tax crimes carried out by both local and foreigners had led the police to prioritise investigating such cases.
The lack of tax prosecutions was highlighted as one of the main weaknesses that led to Malta’s greylisting by the FATF, a global anti-money laundering body.
Giving a breakdown of recent tax prosecutions, Mamo said there was one prosecution in 2019, seven in 2020 and two so far this year.

As a key stakeholder in Malta’s capital, the Embassy Valletta Hotel has launched an innovative tree and shrub planting scheme in its bid to support a greener Valletta.
Under the scheme, the Embassy Valletta Hotel is partnering with the Valletta local council and select travel and corporate companies to plant trees around the capital. A tree or shrub will be planted for every 50 bookings generated through the scheme partners.
With many initiatives already under way across Malta to drive reforestation and tree planting in rural areas, the Embassy Valletta Hotel was inspired by the Valletta local council’s vision to apply the same principle to the urban landscape. With each hotel room reservation through the scheme, the Embassy Hotel is helping Valletta take a step closer to a greener reality.
