An auditor tasked by the Maltese financial regulator to take over the shuttered Pilatus Bank as its ‘competent person’, is a non-executive director on companies owned by Pilatus Bank’s Maltese lawyers, DF Advocates.
He resigned his post on Horizon Finance plc on Friday 15 January, a day after his new role was announced by the MFSA.
DF Advocates had issued statements on behalf of Pilatus Bank when the Egrant inquiry was published, in which Pilatus took to task critics of the bank and its services rendered to various Maltese individuals and Azeri oligarchs.
Until Friday morning, Ancilleri appeared as a non-executive, independent director on the board of DF Consultancy Services, which forms part of the DF group. He is also listed as a director of Horizon Finance plc and Shoreline Mall plc, both companies owned by DF partners.
The MFSA has appointed auditor Robert Ancilleri as the competent person at law to oversee the affairs of Pilatus Bank following the resignation of the incumbent Lawrence Connell.
Connell, a former US financial regulator, had been appointed in March 2018 but resigned with immediate effect on Wednesday. No reason was given by the MFSA.
Mr Ancilleri was appointed to replace him.
The MFSA said that its notice of March 2018 on the appointment of a competent person shall remain in full force.
