Both a Magisterial inquiry and an internal inquiry have been launched into Tuesday morning's fire, at Wasteserv's Marsa plant, Environment Minister Aaron Farrugia said in Parliament.
The minister was answering Parliamentary Questions, where he also said that the Magisterial inquiry is headed by Marse-Ann Farrugia and the internal inquiry is headed by a certain Dr Daniel Vella.
He did not, however, have details as to the terms of reference of the internal inquiry, he told PN MP Beppe Fenech Adami.
The fire in the Menqa area of Marsa developed on Tuesday morning, with a thick plume of black smoke being seen from various areas around Malta.
