Senior police officers once again fail to attend a sitting in challenge proceedings filed by Repubblika, in which the NGO is seeking a court order binding the police to take action against top Pilatus Bank officials
Repubblika president Robert Aquilina claims in new book that ‘political connections’ with Prime Minister Robert Abela influenced decision not to charge two Pilatus Bank officials
Senior figures at Pilatus Bank had been summoned to testify on Wednesday, but when on the witness stand, all but one declined to testify because the prosecution could not guarantee that the witnesses would not face related charges in future themselves
Repubblika’s Robert Aquilina says Pilatus Bank inquiry report recommended criminal action against several bank employees but only the bank and one official have been charged so far
