“Robert Arrigo went to the Police Commissioner himself with an e mail containing allegations, which he felt should be investigated. So he is not being investigated but he went to the police on his own volition,” Dr Gonzi said.

Mr Arrigo is a former mayor of Sliema and a former president of Sliema Wanderers FC.
