A Scandal in a Robe: Gabriella Vella for Judge

Gabriella Vella Wants to Be Judge After Hospital Inquiry Scandal

Magistrate Gabriella Vella, the same person who presided over the infamous €11 million hospital inquiry, now wants to be promoted to Judge.

Yes, the same inquiry where:

• Experts were paid €11 million under her signature.

• The so-called “lead expert,” Jeremy Harbinson, inflated bills and pocketed money off other experts.

• Key experts are now refusing to testify unless they are paid.

• Out of 30 experts appointed, the Court only has addresses for three.

• Persistent leaks dripped out from a supposedly secret inquiry.

And yet, Gabriella Vella wants to be rewarded with a Judge’s robe.

Joseph Muscat

Let’s not forget: she refused to even hear former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, choosing instead to send police to raid his home. She ignored balance, ignored fairness, and turned an inquiry into a political circus.

Now, after all this damage, Vella wants a seat at the top bench.

The irony is staggering: a Magistrate whose inquiry has collapsed under the weight of its own scandal is positioning herself for promotion. And in the corridors of Court, whispers grow louder that at least two members of the Selection Board are very close to her.

If this is justice, then justice is blind for all the wrong reasons.
