Notary Robert Aquilina has been summoned to Police Headquarters for interrogation tomorrow morning in connection with content published in his recent book about alleged criminal activity by Pilatus Bank.

The interrogation follows a formal order issued by Magistrate Nadine Lia, focusing on the publication of sensitive and confidential documentation that reportedly originates from investigations into Pilatus Bank. Aquilina will be questioned under caution over how this material was acquired and disclosed in the book.
This development comes just days after Aquilina was interrogated by police last Saturday in connection with domestic violence allegations filed by his wife. A formal risk assessment conducted as part of the investigation reportedly concluded that the risk to her life was deemed high and extremely worrying. According to sources at Police Headquarters, Aquilina’s line of defense centers on discrediting his wife’s mental health — a strategy that experts describe as a typical and dangerous pattern used by domestic abusers.

Aquilina, who has publicly positioned himself as a champion of anti-corruption and institutional transparency, is now under intense legal scrutiny on two separate and serious fronts: one involving alleged abuse in his private life, and another involving the potential unlawful dissemination of protected investigative material.
The dual investigations – one personal, one political, are drawing public and legal attention to Aquilina’s conduct. Critics argue that while whistleblower protections are vital, they do not excuse the violation of legal protocols or the exploitation of public trust.
More developments are expected in the coming hours.
