Files related to the secret Panamanian company Egrant could have been contained in a USB stick whose whereabouts are unknown, according to the Egrant inquiry report.

The full report was published earlier this week by Opposition Leader Adrian Delia, shortly after the Constitutional Court found that his rights had been breached when he was refused a copy of the infamous inquiry. In July of last year, the government had published 50 pages of conclusions from the inquiry, which found no evidence that Egrant belonged to Joseph or Michelle Muscat, as had been claimed by the late journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.

It emerged this week, however, that not all conclusions had been published in 2018.

In some of the previously unpublished conclusions, Magistrate (now Judge) Aaron Bugeja had ordered the police to investigate an offshore structure discussed by Keith Schembri and Konrad Mizzi.

He had also instructed the police to investigate Nexia BT's Karl Cini, FIAU whistleblower Jonathan Ferris and Pilatus Bank whistleblower Maria Efimova for possible perjury.

Part of the report says that searches of the "unallocated clusters" found only one Egrant related item not found elsewhere.

"This was a small system file which indicated that an external memory device (possibly a USB) had been attached to a laptop and contained a subfolder called Egrant. There is no further evidence to show what this folder contained or to identify the memory device."

It does raise the possibility that there were digital files in relation to Egrant which were not held on or copied onto the digital devices seized, the inquiry report says. "Its present whereabouts is unknown."

In communication between Nexia BT and Mossack Fonseca, Karl Cini had told the Panamanian firm that he would give them the name of the Ultimate Beneficial Owner of Egrant "via Skype."

Brian Tonna had later claimed that Egrant had always been a shelf company.

Nexia BT's missing emails

Another part of the report says that a number of emails between Mossfon (Mossack Fonseca) and Karl Cini appear to be missing in the data seized from Nexia BT.

The emails appear in documents handed over to the inquiry by former Opposition Leader Simon Busuttil in 2017.

Most of these emails were already in the data sets seized from Nexia BT. "However, 29 of these emails were not in that data set."

These 29 emails were created in the period between January 2015 and August 2015 between Karl Cini and various Mossfon representatives, the report says.

"All of the emails relate to the setting up of bank accounts for Tillgate (Keith Schembri) and Hearnville (Konrad Mizzi) in various banks in various jurisdictions - specifically Dubai. This may be a coincidence or may indicate that Cini may have wished to delete any reference to Dubai bank accounts in connection with Mizzi and Schembri - this might lead one to speculate whether such accounts were indeed set up, albeit perhaps in the names of different entities."
