The amount of unsolved mysteries in Malta is piling up quicker than the rubbish outside restaurants.  Case after case of unsolved murders, gone silent because we are not supposed to ask questions about a case that is ongoing.  Then when?  Those unturned stones seem to be as rooted to the ground as the concrete that is poured onto illegal country paths. 

The country is now becoming totally delusional, either from the heat or from the extraordinary amount of repressed intelligence.  That leads to depression.  People cannot tolerate lies or deny abuse forever.  They may try to but at some point, either the truth must come out or a nervous episode will follow. 

To those who are looking at us from abroad, we must seem like a new species, something they have not come across before in human nature.  Totally adapted to our grimy environment, succulents.  How gullible can we be without appearing ridiculous now? 

Whilst the report from Magistrate Aaron Bugeja on the inquiry into the Egrant allegations was being released, at the same time Investigators abroad released a report on missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 on Monday, saying the Boeing 777's controls were likely deliberately manipulated to take it off course but they were not able to determine who was responsible.

"The answer can only be conclusive if the wreckage is found," Kok Soo Chon, head of the MH370 safety investigation team, told reporters.

Experts believe someone may have deliberately switched off MH370's transponder before diverting it over the Indian Ocean.

Voice 370, a group representing the relatives, has previously urged the Malaysian government for a review of the flight, including "any possible falsification or elimination of records related to MH370 and its maintenance".

"The one point they stressed was that this report was not to assign blame, it was only a safety investigation," she said.

Word for word could be - but wasn't -  applied to the Egrant inquiry, as we recall Ali Sadr seen leaving the Pilatus bank building carrying two suitcases and blame for the purpose of the inquiry started to be dished out.

The Egrant inquiry did not find evidence that the third Panama company belonged to Prime Minister Joseph Muscat or his wife Michelle, or that the PM's wife had received a $1.07 million payment into a Dubai account.

It claims to have found that the declaration of trust handed to Magistrate Aaron Bugeja contained falsified signatures.

The difference in the way the two reports - that of the lost Malaysian flight MH370 and the Egrant inquiry were presented are completely in contrast to each other. 

One, the Egrant report, was completely hijacked by the Prime Minister and presented as a fact, assigning blame where it was never intended to reach and drawing conclusions that were unverifiable. 

The other, into flight MH370 concludes that "We cannot exclude that there was an unlawful interference by a third party," Kok said.

But, here in our besieged island, it is permitted and becomes accepted that if the Prime Minister says something, then we must all bow our heads and run to mummy.

Not only was the report itself hijacked but it was used to prove something that it could not prove of itself. 

In the case of the MH370 report, the whole stack of MH370safety investigation report booklets were presented to the public.

In Egrant, the Attorney General has filed a counter-protest to the judicial protest submitted by Adrian Delia last week, with the AG arguing that the publication of the Egrant inquiry conclusions was enough to satisfy the public interests' requirement to know the findings of the case.

We say no.  It is not enough.  Since conclusions have been presented to the public by the Prime Minister, and selectively to preferred media, then we also have a right to come to our own conclusion, which may differ from his.  The truth is that the way in which the conclusion was interpreted was subjective and remains an interpretation until we know for sure what the parameters of that conclusion are.

Not only, since blame was immediately assigned, to the journalists and to the whistle blower and to Simon Busuttil in particular, then it is ever more essential that an impartial scrutiny is affected.

This inquiry now joins the rest of the pile of unsolved mysteries.  We have had time to see how Mossack Fonseca dealt with signatures on documents, using them at liberty and handing them out like pastizzi. 

Furthermore, we still do not know who owns/owned Egrant but we know that Nexia BT handled the 3 Panama accounts of Hearnville, Tillgate and Egrant.  Like the three wing fragments of the aircraft washed up along the Indian Ocean coast.

What a way to lead a country!  By the nose, by the pocket, by obligation and by spineless figures ready to contort as they as required to at any time.

But as long as we all stay in our place and act like children of a saint, miracles will happen.  Some things, on the other hand, will remain on the ocean bed, never to be found.
