The ripples of Ali Sadr's arrest in the US made it to most of today's front pages.

The Times of Malta writes about the source of his funds, saying the MFSA was under pressure to reveal more, while its secondary story is about the charges which will be filed against a former policeman.

The Malta Independent takes a more political angle with a story about the minister's defence of the decision not to seal off Pilatus Bank. It also reports that the Economy Ministry spent €20 million through direct orders in a five-year period.

L-Orizzont focuses on the appointment by the MFSA of a caretaker for Pilatus Bank, along with news that the whistleblower, Maria Efimova, might be given asylum in Greece.

In-Nazzjon bucks the trend with a story about chief of staff Keith Schembri and his failure to show up at court for a libel case, and about a prisoner who attempted to escape from the hospital.
