There was no breach of ethics in connection with the appointment of Malta’s ambassador to Ghana, the Commissioner for Standards in Public Life has concluded.
Standards Commissioner George Hyzler investigated a complaint by Anthony De Bono, former Maltese ambassador to Jordan, that Jean Claude Galea Mallia should not have been appointed to the position in Ghana.
The complaint focussed on Galea Mallia s business relationship with another Maltese person who was living in Ghana and who was wanted by the police in Malta.
It was also alleged that then Foreign Affairs Minister Carmelo Abela should have informed parliament’s public appointments committee about the links between the ambassador and the wanted person when he asked the committee to consider the appointment in October 2018.
