This is the translation of Joseph
Borg witness VAT Customs Legal Office employee. It is as true to the
court-recorded transcript as possible. His witness confirms that the charges of
customs evasion brought against the defendant were very PETTY AND VINDICTIVE.
Magistrates Court
Magistrate Dr. Noel Cuschieri LL.D
Today 2nd December 1999
Police Inspector Raymond Cremona
Vs
Joseph Ellul Grech
Joseph Borg son of
Paul. Born in Bormla stationed at Customs Legal Office.
In Maltese and under
oath in the presence of the defendant.
The court is showing
me a letter dated 17 November 1999 addressed to the Commissioner of Police and
sent by Alfred J. Pace Customs controller with the seizure notice attached to
it.
Magistrate: Can you tell the significance of
this document?
J. Borg: This is a demand according to the
Customs Ordinance to start proceedings as per the first document. The second
document is a list of items that were seized according to the Customs
Ordinance.
(Another time wasting
exercise and confirmation of vindictiveness. The police started legal
proceedings for evasion of Customs Duty with a global value of Lm130 with a
customs duty of approximately Lm13. Customs Department was in John Dalli’s
portfolio. This is another demonstration of boot licking a politician by
Maltese senior police officers).
Cross-examination
reserved.
This is the substance
of the witness Joseph Borg as dictated by him.
I declare that I
transcribed faithfully, honestly and according to the transcript witness tape.
Ivan Ghio.
