Former Allied Group managing director Adrian Hillman is set to be charged with financial crimes this morning.

Hillman was extradited to Malta on Friday.

He is expected to be charged with money laundering, fraud and other crimes in front of magistrate Doreen Clarke at 10am. 

The development comes two months after 11 other people were charged with financial crimes.

The police said in a statement on Saturday that a man will be charged in relation to ongoing criminal proceedings against several other individuals.

The police statement did not identify Hillman by name.

“These investigations are related to the conclusions of a magisterial inquiry over which criminal proceedings have already been started against a number of people and companies,” the police statement read.

Former OPM chief of staff Keith Schembri was charged together with his business associates, financial advisers Nexia BT and Zenith Finance, formerly MFSP.

An investigation has revealed how Hillman received €650,000 from former prime minister Joseph Muscat’s chief of staff Keith Schembri, who owns the company Kasco that supplied the printing press. But testimony given by police suggests that Hillman could have received some €1 million in unexplained payments through offshore companies.

Over the past two months he underwent extradition proceedings in the UK where he was studying.
