Lawyer Jason Azzopardi said Tuesday that another major magisterial inquiry, which encapsulates three inquiries into one, has been concluded.

In a post on his Facebook page, Azzopardi said that another inquiry, which he had initiated on behalf of PN MEP David Casa, NGO Repubblika, and former PN Leader Simon Busuttil five years ago.

The inquiry had been called for by Casa to investigate 17 Black, a company owned by murder suspect and businessman Yorgen Fenech, and which was tied to the Panama Papers. Fenech is awaiting trial in connection with the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia.

In 2016, it had been revealed that then minister Konrad Mizzi and then OPM chief of staff Keith Schembri had opened companies in Panama. A third company, known as Egrant, was also opened, and allegations had been made that it belonged to the Joseph Muscat family, an allegation on which no evidence was found in a magisterial inquiry.

Muscat had stood by his two right hand men, retaining Schembri in his position while removing the health portfolio from Mizzi, although the latter retained the title of minister.

The conclusion of this latest inquiry comes in the wake of yet another magisterial inquiry into the three hospitals deal, which has landed former Prime Minister Muscat, Mizzi and two other former ministers in court with criminal charges to their name. Schembri is also charged in court.

In his post today, Azzopardi said that main government exponents of the Labour government and businessmen "must be accused with bribery and money laundering".

“I told you all an earthquake is coming,” Azzopardi said, reminding people of the phrase “Daphne was right,” which has made rounds recently following the arraignment of several individuals over the Vitals case, which journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia had first reported on.

Caruana Galizia had been the first to publisly mention the name of the company 17 Black in a blog post on her website. She was assassinated in October 2017.

Azzopardi also posted the hashtags #Electrogas, #17Black, #PanamaPapers. 

MEP David Casa was quick to respond on social media, saying that the inquiry has been concluded. "I had passed on a leaked document for which they wanted to send me to orison," Casa said.

Watch out for the tsunami, he said.

In a statement later, Casa said that it has been many years since "a courageous source handed me an FIAU report which their superiors intended to bury. When I took it to the magistrate, Labour MPs at the time had called for criminal proceedings to be launched against me. I eventually published that report, despite the threats, because I was convinced that the public should know the truth. Edward Scicluna, who still insists on holding public office despite criminal charges, lost no time in attempting to discredit it as having been written to be leaked."

Casa said that having little hope that a "hijacked police force would do its job, through my lawyer Dr Jason Azzopardi and alongside Dr Simon Busuttil and Repubblika, we requested the opening of a magisterial inquiry and the 17 Black inquiry was joined to that of the Panama Papers. Today, we are informed that this inquiry, which investigated among other things the relationship between 17 Black, Konrad Mizzi and Keith Schembri, has been concluded".

We deserve justice, the PN MEP said. "At its core this case is about the betrayal of the Maltese people by a mafia that put its own greed above all else. But justice is now within reach and we are finally seeing the results of the work we started so many years ago. Going forward, we must strengthen our efforts further so as to ensure that justice is not derailed and sabotaged," he said.

"I will be formally requesting a copy of the inquiry in the coming days," Casa concluded.
