Reżistenza Malta demands Konrad Mizzi's resignation

'Incontrovertible evidence of the minister's connection to 17 Black'

A poster showing a ball sitting on a roulette's black 17 was this morning stuck to the door of the Tourism Ministry in Valletta by Reżistenza Malta.

In a tweet, the organisation said the Daphne Project had furnished incontrovertible evidence of Minister Konrad Mizzi’s connection to 17 Black.

“We demand your resignation and action by #FIAU & #MaltaPolice.”

According to leaked documents, 17 Black was a “target client” for Dr Mizzi’s secret Panama company.

Dr Mizzi opened Hearnville Inc in Panama after Labour was elected to office in 2013.

According to a leaked e-mail sent in December 2015 by his financial adviser Karl Cini of the audit firm Nexia BT, Hearnville was to receive €150,000 in “monthly transactions”.

Meanwhile, 17 Black received payments of $1.6 million from two businessmen associated with the new Delimara power station.
