“They cooperated very well with the Maltese police and three men have been charged in court as a result.

“Let’s be honest, she wasn’t an easy person to deal with, although this is no way excuses what happened to her,” the Prime Minister said. “For example, if we had given her a police escort, she would have probably argued that someone was putting police at her front door to harm her work or to spy on her.”
