Mr Justice Lino Farrugia Sacco is involved in the running of the International Committee for the Mediterranean Games (ICMG) despite not seeking re-election to the Malta Olympic Committee.

The judge was censured by the Commission for the Administration of Justice over his involvement in the Malta Olympic Committee and only left that post last year as an impeachment motion for his dismissal was being discussed by the commission. He contested and was elected to the executive committee of the ICMG until 2017.

Mr Justice Farrugia Sacco is president of the disciplinary anti-doping commission of the same organisation.

The judiciary’s code of ethics precludes members of the Bench from holding “any office or post, even though of a temporary, voluntary or honorary nature, and may not perform any activity, which in the opinion of the commission may compromise or prejudice their position or their duties or functions”.
