Once the Nationalist Party got burned very badly with the Egrant magisterial inquiry report, it has been trying to deflect attention by continuing to ask: “Who owns Egrant?”

This question had been answered by Brian Tonna, of Nexia BT, more than once. He repeatedly said Egrant had belonged to him as a shell-company, which he had then closed. Since then, Magistrate Aaron Bugeja concluded his very voluminous report (1,500 pages) and the conclusions of his 15-month investigation were published. The leader of the Opposition, Adrian Delia, immediately accepted the conclusions, which not only cleared the Prime Minister and his wife, Michelle, from the ownership of Egrant, as had been claimed by Daphne Caruana Galizia and former PN leader Simon Busuttil, but revealed that the Egrant story was based on forged documents and signature.

So why is the PN and Delia asking who was Egrant’s owner? Is it not much more important for the Maltese people to know who was the mastermind and whose hand was it that forged the Egrant document and the signature?

But neither Delia, nor any of his colleagues, are asking who is the mastermind of the Egrant frame-up attempt but simply who was the owner of Egrant. Do they possibly know who was the mastermind and who had forged the ‘Egrant’ documents? Is this perhaps why they are not asking that question.
