The Nationalist Party is asking why a prison official was transferred if, according to the government, she had done nothing wrong.

In a statement on Saturday, the PN referred to the stories published on various news portals about the decision not to take criminal action against the Head of Strategy of the Prison, Svetlana Muscat, after she was caught organising secret meetings in her office between Yorgen Fenech and third parties from outside the prison.

While the government is claiming that the former Super One employee did nothing wrong and thus no criminal proceedings will be taken against her, at the same time it is confirming that she was transferred from Kordin Prison to another position.

The question is obvious: if, according to the Ministry for Home Affairs, National Security and Labour, she did nothing wrong, then why was she transferred to another entity?

The PN, through its spokesman Darren Carabott, would also like to express once again its serious concern about the fact that it had to be the journalists who pressed the Labour Government to release some form of information regarding the outcome of this case that was revealed by lawyer Jason Azzopardi.

It was the PN that applied political and public pressure regarding this case, urging that serious action be taken over these allegations. However, the Labour Government appears determined to continue protecting those who have let the public down, the PN said.

This is yet another case showing how, for the Labour Government, everything is brushed under the carpet.

The PN called for full transparency about what has happened and demands a public explanation regarding the events that took place.
