“After receiving the anonymous footage showing Mr Vella opening cash tills and taking money at his workplace, this newspaper made contact with the local councillor’s employer at the time to verify the originality of the footage. A spokesman for Valyou supermarket in Mellieħa, formerly known as Shoppers, confirmed the footage was taken by a CCTV system at their premises: ‘The footage you are referring to is original and we can confirm that, following that episode, Mr Vella is no longer employed by us,’ the spokesman said.
