The Chetcuti Cauchi law firm today denied obtaining illegal advantages for clients wanting to obtain Maltese citizenship, adding also that the firm never accepted clients with a criminal record.
Recently, a TV programme transmitted on the French station M6 contained allegations and insinuations about Chetcuti Cauchi’s handling of IIP applications. As a result, the firm’s license was temporarily suspended and the regulators are currently looking into the matter. A request for a magisterial inquiry has also been made.
In a statement signed by managing partner Jean-Philippe Chetcuti, the firm categorically denied all these allegations and insinuations. “We always acted professionally, ethically and with utmost diligence, and we never broke the law. We are fully cooperating with the competent authorities, as is our obligation. We will continue to do so until the truth we already know is vindicated,” the statement said.
