The Local Governance Board has informed Front Harsien ODZ that it started investigations into the Marsascala mayor’s talks with the investors in a new university on its own initiative before being so requested by the NGO.

Front Harsien ODZ said yesterday that it had asked the board to investigate Mario Calleja, mayor of Marsascala, "following his recent statements on agreeing to being gifted the construction of new local council premises by Sadeen Education Investment Ltd if the proposed American University of Malta is constructed on Zonqor land."

Times of Malta reported on November 21 that Sadeen Group, the company behind the controversial American University of Malta, has promised to build new premises for the Marsascala local council if a campus in Żonqor was permitted.
