Good morning and Happy Easter.

The following are the top stories in Malta's newspapers.

The Sunday Times of Malta highlights concerns that the NGOs sector is vulnerable to money laundering. The newspaper also reports that the number of students at the American University of Malta (AUM) has dwindled again, returning to the level registered when it first opened last September.

MaltaToday says the development of the 33-storey Metropolis tower in Gzira has been stalled by the need to create more parking spaces underground. The newspaper also reports that a betting mafia associate is to be extradited from Malta on court orders. 

The Malta Independent gives prominence to a call by MEP Ana Gomes for European Commissioners to investigate irregularities in the granting of visas. 

Illum reports on a survey which found that the Church remains powerful, with 90 per cent of the view that it has strong or medium influence. 

It-Torċa quotes Tourism Minister Konrad Mizzi saying he is confidence common sense will prevail with regards to the impact of Brexit on aviation. 

KullĦadd says socialist MEPs have opposed amendments to a report about the media by Roberta Metsola. The Media Pluralism and Media Freedom in the European Union was being considered by the Civil Liberties Committee. It mentioned no countries but Dr Metsola's amendments sought to mention Malta, in a bad way, the newspaper says. 

The newspaper also gives prominence to a mass meeting which Labour will hold for May 1.
