Inspector and POU-GWU President Sandro Camilleri said that the material used in the latest spate of car bombs could have easily come from a local fireworks factory.  Dr Camilleri is also the Chairman of the Planning Authority’s 'Fireworks Factory Policy Committee'.

Replying to questions on INDEPTH by The Malta Independent’s Director of Content Pierre Portelli, Dr Camilleri said that the recent cases of car bombs may be the result of infighting between criminals. He compared the situation with that during the 1980s when “we used to have car bombs every week,” he said.

During the interview, which will be uploaded on www.independent.com.mt tomorrow, Inspector Camilleri speaks of a police force that lacks people’s trust and that needs to be restructured if it wants to be at the forefront of investigations.
