The inquiry report on the drug heist from the Armed Forces of Malta compound in Safi last month will be published in its entirety today, Prime Minister Robert Abela said.

Speaking to journalists, he would not go into details on its conclusions, saying the report came into his possession earlier today.

The inquiry was to look into the responsibility of the AFM in the heist which occurred on a Sunday morning in February. Authorities initially said 226 kilogrammes of cannabis resin had been storlen but in court proceedings it was later declared that 132kg had been stolen.

Six people have since been arraigned in connection with the crime.

The inquiry is led by retired judge Geoffrey Valenzia, and it was was tasked with looking into why the drugs seized from the Malta Freeport was being held at an AFM facility in Safi, what security precautions were taken to ensure the drug was safely held and how the AFM, freeport and other entities interacted throughout.

The judgw was also asked to make recommendations to address any regulatory or administrative shortcomings he identified.

The inquiry was given three weeks to be completed but last week a short extension was requested.
