Magistrate Rachel Montebello has ordered the prosecution of journalists for filing a story – for doing their job. They published a sordid picture: Joseph Cuschieri, former head of the Malta Gaming Authority and former CEO of the Malta Financial Services Authority, half-naked in an intimate embrace with bare-chested Yorgen Fenech, reclining on Fenech’s luxury yacht – both sticking their tongue out, taunting a nation.
Cuschieri, the regulator tasked with ensuring Fenech adhered to the rules, instead enjoyed the lavish hospitality of the accused. His intimacy with Fenech was starkly revealed in that jeering pose.
