Times of Malta says Speaker Anġlu Farrugia will not entertain a request by Labour MP Joe Sammut for press surveillance adding that Dr Sammut had “asked for the impossible”. In another story, it says Energy and Health Minister Konrad Mizzi yesterday evening admitted that a trust set up in New Zealand to take care of his family’s financial interests owns shares in a company registered in Panama.
The Malta Independent says sparks flew in Parliament yesterday evening when Opposition Leader Simon Busuttil demanded a statement from Prime Minister Joseph Muscat over what he described as the “shocking news” that Dr Mizzi holds a shell company in Panama and a trust in New Zealand.
L-Orizzont leads with a report from the court in Gozo on the works for vote case allegedly involving former minister Giovanna Debono’s husband.
In-Nazzjon says the Prime Minister insisted on defending Dr Mizzi and refused to make a statement in Parliament after Dr Mizzi had to admit owning a trust in New Zealand and a company in Panama.
