The Police Commissioner has launched a second investigation into the conduct of former inspector Daniel Zammit, even roping in the Attorney General to assess whether he followed procedures, The Sunday Times of Malta has learnt.
The investigation kicked off by Police Commissioner Michael Cassar will look into whether Mr Zammit followed procedures when tasked with the investigation of Neville Baldacchino’s murder in 2008, sources confirmed.
Seven years later, the case remains undecided and has been heard behind closed doors. Recent revelations on Mr Zammit’s companies held with Joe Gaffarena have raised new questions because Mr Baldacchino was allegedly murdered for having an affair with Mr Gaffarena’s daughter. The main suspect was Mr Gaffarena’s son-in-law.
The Police Commissioner has roped in the Attorney General to investigate Mr Zammit’s prosecution in the case. The police investigation is the second one focused on Mr Zammit’s behaviour.
The Prime Minister has also appointed Judge Michael Mallia to investigate whether the former inspector followed procedures when investigating the same murder.
