The former chief of police is in the soup again. Lawrence Cutajar stood accused by many of indulging in rabbit stew as crucial evidence was possibly being tampered with at the notorious Pilatus Bank. He is also being investigated over claims he tipped off Daphne Caruana Galizia murder middleman Melvin Theuma on a money-laundering probe. His latest troubles stem from the promotion of police superintendents to the rank of assistant commissioner, a process he oversaw. One of the superintendents eliminated, Raymond D’Anastas, felt he should have won promotion. In line with set procedure, he took his case before the public service commission. However, the PSC confirmed the decision of the selection board, then headed by Cutajar. The officer did not let the case drop and filed a formal complaint with the ombudsman.
