Foundation for Medical Services CEO Carmen Ciantar said that after all the truth has come out, the only question that remains is who was behind the “nefarious frame-up” against her.

In a statement to the media, Ciantar said that she had received official communication from the Malta Police “confirming what I was verbally told in this regard earlier on”.

Ciantar had sought an investigation of the serious allegations made about her “by anonymous sources in a couple of dubious foreign media outlets”.

Ciantar tendered her “suspension” from the post of CEO at the Foundation for Medical Services on 1 June after a Pakistani news portal report claimed that she had received a bribe.

In a statement on 31 July, Ciantar said she had withdrawn her self-suspension after the “the truth and my integrity have won out over the massive and moneyed dark forces which tried to annihilate both.”

In her statement today, Ciantar said that having “exhaustively and thoroughly” looked at all the facts the Police did not find a shred of evidence to substantiate them.

“Furthermore, the only conclusion that can be drawn is that these outlets tried to push their story using false, fraudulent and trumped up documents. As I declared from the outset, this was a frame up from beginning to end,” she said.

“Now that the truth has come out, now that the institutions have worked, only one thing remains to be unearthed. Who were the well-funded dark forces who tried to execute this nefarious frame up?”

Ciantar thanked “all those who stood by me during this horrible ordeal. More broadly, it was of great comfort that no one I met, absolutely no one, needed the police to know the truth”.
