I cannot see anyone doing time behind bars over the oil trading scam. In what must be the mother of scams for these islands, the plot has thickened and become so convoluted that the Attorney General will soon find it easier to tail a bat in a blackout than to nail any of these prime specimens of an upstanding citizen.

But the Mater Dei Hospital caper should be a home run for the State prosecutor. No other case, on this scale, could have left such a long trail of fingerprints set in stone and corroborated by such concrete evidence, leading to the villas of the perpetrators.
