Protests against Pilatus Bank mounted overnight after its chairman was arrested in the US and a whistleblower gave herself to police in Greece.
Copies of fake euro notes with the bank chairman's face printed on them were hung out to dry in front of Whitehall Mansions in Ta' Xbiex, where the bank offices are based. The act on Friday night was a sign of protest against claims of money laundering faced by the bank.
Meanwhile, posters appealing to the Greek prime minister to support Maria Efimova, a Russian national at the centre of the Egrant scandal, were placed outside the embassy.
The action with the hashtag #reżistenza (resistance) was carried after two dramatic turn of events on Tuesday.
Pilatus boss Ali Sadr Hashemi Nejad, was arrested by US authorities and charged for major tax evasion in a case dating back before it applied to operate in Malta. Hours earlier, Ms Efimova who had worked at the Maltese-registered Pilatus Bank, gave herself up to police in Greece after an arrest warrant issued against her.
According to the Maltese authorities, Ms Efimova had made false claims against the police and defrauded the bank. She is also accused by Cypriot authorities of embezzlement, in a case dating back to 2014. She maintains her innocence and now says she fears for her life.
MEPS of different political shades have written to the Greek authorities urging them to give protection to Ms Efimova.

The Russian national said she held evidence that the Prime Minister's wife Michelle Muscat was the ultimate beneficial owner of Panama company Egrant, a claim vehemently denied by the couple. The claims had been reported by slain journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.
At the time, Mr Nejad had been filmed at night carrying two bags out of the bank using the emergency exit. He went straight to the airport.
Last Wednesday, a washing machine was placed on top of a plaque commemorating the opening of Pilatus Bank. The bank has been accused of facilitating corrupt activities and money laundering, claims which the bank has denied. Its assets have seen been frozen by the Malta Financial Services Authority.
