The situation regarding Sam Sittlington’s actions, where he proposed a consultancy contract to the Malta Police while already engaged as an independent expert in Court, raises serious ethical concerns.
His justification that Commissioner Angelo Gafà requested the proposal does not absolve him of potential conflicts of interest. It is imperative for the Police Commissioner to thoroughly investigate this matter promptly.
Sittlington’s failure to disclose this information to the Magistrate, as required, further compounds the issue. The suggested asking price of €936,000 only adds to the complexity of the situation.
The rejection of the proposal by the Finance Ministry underscores the need for transparency and accountability in such dealings.
The $1 Million Man moniker seems fitting in light of these revelations, highlighting the gravity of the situation at hand.
