The owner of a Sliema apartment being investigated by police after at least 50 foreigners submitted the address as their official residence insists she is the victim of this sham activity.

“I am the victim of this fraudulent activity. I was not aware that my address, or even my name, were being used illegally to provide an address to the authorities. I am a victim of this too,” Marisa Camilleri told the Times of Malta when contacted yesterday.

“I am helping the police with their investigations because I too feel cheated,” she added.
