The court is showing me a statement RC1 taken from Joseph Ellul Grech.

Magistrate: Do you recognise Joseph Ellul Grech?

Magistrate: Where you present during the statement?

A. Mercieca: Yes I was present during the time that it was taken after the usual caution. On it I can recognise the inspector’s signature and mine.


(The defendant refused to sign the statement because Inspector Cremona concocted it leaving out the allegations that the defendant made about John Dalli’s involvement in the Daewoo Scandal).


Cross-examination reserved.


This is the substance of witness Arthur Mercieca ad dictated by him.

I declare that I transcribed faithfully, honestly and according to the transcript witness tape.
