Judge Emeritus Joseph Pullicino remains suspiciously silent. Days after serious questions were raised about his connection to the Montekristo Estate — Malta’s most controversial venue — the former Ombudsman continues to dodge public accountability.
But now, the question becomes even more direct — and unavoidable:
How much were you paid, Judge Pullicino, for the piece of land your family sold to Charles Polidano — €450,000 or €500,000?
Joe Said Pullicino
This isn’t a vague insinuation. It’s a direct question that deserves a clear, public answer.
The public has a right to know the truth — especially when that truth involves land transactions with a developer who has repeatedly operated above the law, ignored enforcement, and been shielded by political and institutional inaction for decades.
Let us not forget: Montekristo has been the epicentre of illegalities — from planning abuses to animal welfare violations, to unlicensed developments.
And now, we learn that Judge Emeritus Pullicino — the man who once held the Ombudsman’s office, the man trusted with investigating institutional wrongdoing — is financially linked to the very empire he should have kept in check.
Was land transferred from your family to Charles Polidano?
Was it sold for €450,000? Or was it €500,000?
What was the exact agreement?
Did you ever declare this interest while in office?
The silence from your end is deafening. But the public is listening — and waiting.
Judge Pullicino, if there is nothing to hide — speak up. But if this is part of yet another quiet arrangement with powerful players, then the people deserve to know how deep the rot goes.
We won’t be dropping the subject. Not now. Not ever.
