The Danish police investigating the company which has been given the contract for the Delimara power station in 2004 had concluded that “there is no probable cause that a criminal offence, which could be pursued by the public authorities, has been committed”.
The Infrastructure Ministry this morning published the original letter from the Police Commissioner, as well as a translation.
Labour leader Joseph Muscat yesterday presented the auditor general with investigations carried out by a Danish newspaper which concluded that the company had used bribery to win contracts abroad.
Dr Gatt wrote to the company requesting it to explain the situation to the Auditor General.
The company replied denying the claims and said that a police investigation at the time had concluded that the accusations were without merit. This morning, it sent a copy of the police report to the minister.
