The Vitals Global Healthcare (VGH) hospitals scandal has become one of Malta’s most controversial public-private partnership cases, and recent developments have only deepened suspicions about the integrity of the ongoing inquiry.
At the centre of this tangled web is Peter Fenech, a lawyer with a strikingly dual role: he once advised VGH investors in a bid to block the transfer of shares, and now serves as the lawyer for Jeremy Harbinson, the forensic accountant whose findings form the backbone of the inquiry. This peculiar overlap raises serious doubts about both the inquiry’s findings and the motivations behind them.
