Silvio Zammit asked for €60 million, Swedish newspaper says
Snus manufacturer Swedish Match has claimed that it was asked for €60 million by Silvio Zammit to influence a decision by former Health Commissioner John Dalli on a tobacco product.
The company's communications manager Patrik Hildingsson was quoted in the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.
He said that a Swedish Match employee met the businessman in Malta after he had sought contact.
"The Maltese businessman expressed to us very clearly that he was speaking on behalf of Dalli. He had a manner and information that made us wary," Mr Hildingsson said.
"He said it was, in principle, political suicide to lift the ban and, therefore, he wanted money for it, simply put, since the career (of the EU commissioner) would be over afterwards."
Swedish Match declined the offer and informed the Commission of what had happened, Mr Hildingsson said.
According to the newspaper, €10 million were to be paid immediately, and €50 million once the law was changed.

A certain infamous blogger is trying to tear John Dalli to bits without waiting for developments and conclusion to this case. She is 100% convinced of Dalli's guilt ! I would rather be proven mistaken for believing in Dalli's innocence. than condemn him at this stage !
Eddy Privitera
Oct 20th 2012, 08:41
Ex- commissioner John Dalli has asked the Attorney General to conclude his investigation by next week if possible. And not take 4 years as had been the case in the previous investigation about John Dalli, when it was found that the accusation about him had been false !
I guess that all the Maltese people agree with John Dalli , that the local investigation should be concluded urgently.
Joseph Camilleri
Oct 20th 2012, 09:47
@ eddy privitera, I do not get your point. Something tells me that lejber once again has used commissioner dalli to hit at the government and has backfired. Now lejber cant hit back because dalli was usefull to torpedoe parliament since it is in a very tight situation. I cant forget how delighted the lejber station was to report remarks by dalli that parliament is not functioning. I do wonder!
Joseph M. Saliba
Oct 20th 2012, 10:32
Yes I agree with you and this case should be treated with utmost urgency as justice delayed is justice denied. If found that he knew that he was being used and did nothing about it than Mr Dalli should face criminal charges, However if he is found that he was in good faith and he knew nothing then Mr Dalli should be reinstated as COMMISSIONER. BAROSO IS NOT THE EUROPEAN UNION WE VOTED FOR.

All I know is that the legislation is being put aside for the moment or forever and that the tobacco industry has won the battle while Mr Dalli has been made the scapegoat of Barroso. Everybody in the legal camp knows that hearsay evidence is rubbish. I expected much more from Barroso ! He must be holier than the Pope ! No way !

Was Silvio Zammit Acting alone? And how did Silvio came to that massive sum? Who are they, those behind Silvio Zammit? Malta is dramatically experiencing a reformation of change in mentality. Politics are not anymore an investment in the making of huge profits out of position in the governmental administration. We are not longer a stupid nation. There are still other jackals within both parties.
Alfred Cassar
Oct 19th 2012, 21:24
Could it possible be that this Swedish company, seeing that Dalli was going to ban their product, wanted to get rid of him and created the whole story?
I'm just asking, not defending anyone and not siding with anyone
Antoine Vella
Oct 19th 2012, 21:58
Alfred Cassar, can't you read? Dalli wasn't going to ban snus: it is already banned and the issue was whether the ban should be lifted.
Adrian P. Cassar
Oct 20th 2012, 06:40
It could be.
If Dalli was aware of Zammit's "lobbying" he knew that he was not doing it as a volunteer because he had snus at heart!!
If Zammit was asking for 60 million he was aware that he could get Dalli on board. It is very unlikely that he would ask for that money, only to then say "I'm sorry, no can do..."

Now with the Tobacco directive stalled again barely just before its launch, the beneficiary is:The Tobacco Industry producing cigarettes. Snuss affects the health of users only; cigarettes are the top cause of death and disease of smokers and also affect passive smokers. Currently oral tobacco producers are at a huge disadvantage with a restricted market such as Sweden as oppose to a global one.

The 9,350,000 inhabitants of Sweden reported 1,410,000 offences to the authorities in 2009 approximately 151 offences/1000 inhabitants). The number of reported crimes have increased radically since the collection of national statistics began in 1950. Much of this has been attributed to a higher level of reporting of crimes, but the largest factor is the absolute increase of incidents

I think that EU should get it's house in order.
Whether this is true or not will always be a bone of contention.
The truth is that one person (an EU commissioner) has so much power in his hands.
Not very democratic for someone chosen by the cabinet or members or even a prime minister of one country.
Francis Saliba M.D.
Oct 19th 2012, 17:37
Swedish Match, manufacturer of the snus banned throught Europe outside Sweden, should mention that the bribe sum alleged by it was in answer to its specific request for that information. Therefore, it was either an attempt to bribe and corrupt or to entrap, if not both by the morally superior Swedes.

...the fact also remains that while tobacco is legal and consumed across all of Europe, something which is less harmful is not allowed....the rest is superfluous.
Francis Saliba M.D.
Oct 19th 2012, 18:23
@RobertAgius.
Tobacco undoubtedly kills millions and the European Commission is correct to object to its wider dissemination. It is immaterial that it is legal. That is no reason why the abuse of other harmful drugs (even if less harmful according to you) should be encouraged. Two wrongs do not make one right.
Please stick to the subject of the blog without trying to promote drug abuse.
Robert Agius
Oct 20th 2012, 11:49
@ Dottore
I'm merely pointing out the contradictions and twisted reason that exist in our current laws. What is wrong here is pretending that lobbying is done without the influence of the most powerful drugs - $ and power.

Irrespective of the sum involved, the inescapable conclusion is that the tobacco lobby was either offering a bribe or indulging in criminal entrapment.
So much for the racist claim of Nordic moral superiority over the Mediterranean people that incidentally is an insult to the obliging Director General of OLAF, Italian Giovanni Kessler as much as it is to the Maltese.

Anyone who is or wants to be 'clean' files the report immediately without doing any further contacts, not when he is 100% sure that the directive is not going to be favourable.
We neither know the content of the meetings nor how they have been organized nor under which pretext.

For those claiming a frame-up, have a look at the Corruption Perception Index of 2011:
http://cpi.transparency.org/cpi2011/results/
Sweden is in 3rd place, with a score of 9.3. It's one of the least corrupt countries in the world.
Malta scores a meagre 5.6.
So, do you really believe in a frame-up? If the EU anti-corruption agency says he knew about the contacts?

Franco Attard Trevisan
Oct 19th 2012, 17:49
First of all OLAF said it has only 'circumstantial evidence' that Dalli was aware of what was happening and the only thing they are 100% sure of is that Dalli was not involved in any corruption.
Secondly I don't believe much in coincidences and this morning's news that the EU offices regulating tobacco were broken into and many files disappeared smells too fishy to me.

Oct 19th 2012, 17:14
Sweden is in 3rd place while Malta is way back on the 20th place according to the EU 2011 Barometer for corruption among European countries, therefore I think while they still have there fair share of 'shady' contacts and contracts they surely have a record that they can boast with....
