The Permanent Commission against Corruption started investigating the Marsa flyover scandal after last Friday it received a formal letter sent by PN’s spokesperson for justice Karol Aquilina, the MP said in a statement.

Together with the letter Aquilina also submitted an email exchange that speaks about a possible bribery.

Earlier this month, Times of Malta reported how evidence of a “potential corruption in a €40 million Marsa flyover contract has attracted the attention of EU anti-fraud prosecutors”.

“This morning I gave my testimony before the Permanent Commission against Corruption," Aquilina said in a statement. "In my testimony I explained in detail the facts related to this case.”

Among others, during his testimony Aquilina said he presented a copy of an email sent by Robert Yildirim to Yorgen Fenech on 22 January 2019, which was also made reference to in the TOM story

The PN is urging anyone who has more information to come forward and pass it on to the Permanent Commission against Corruption.
