Former Labour MP Silvio Grixti was called in by the police for interrogation, MaltaToday reports.

Grixti was called for interrogation regarding his alleged role in the disability benefits scandal. This would be the second time Grixti was interrogated, with the first having been in 2021. Maltatoday reports that the police took Grixti's statement.

The Times of Malta had reported that hundreds of people could have received severe disability benefits which they weren't entitled to. The Prime Minister, Robert Abela, had previously said that investigations so far have confirmed 160 may have done so, and the government had appointed a board to evaluate the process of the disability benefits scheme. Grixti, has also been implicated in the racket for allegedly providing false documents enabling people to receive benefits they were not entitled to. He resigned from Parliament two years ago.
