Broadcasting Authority Chair Sat On Board That Approved Corradino Project
Broadcasting Authority chairperson Frank Farrugia was part of a board that approved a Malta Enterprise project at Corradino where Jean Paul Sofia tragically died.
Farrugia sat on a five-person investment committee that was tasked with assessing smaller-scale project proposals and approved a proposal to build a furniture factory on government land at Corradino.
He and Dana Farrugia, who is part of the executive of the Malta Football Association, had already left the board before the public inquiry was published yesterday.
The board was led by Malta Enterprise deputy chairperson Peter Borg, who has resigned in the wake of the inquiry.

Fellow board member, GWU President Victor Carachi, has confirmed he will step down as a matter of ethics even though he didn’t attend the meeting.
The fifth board member, Chamber of SMEs President Paul Abela, is reportedly set to resign in the coming days.
Lovin Malta has sent an email to Farrugia to ask him whether the inquiry findings have any bearing on his position as BA chairperson but he hasn’t responded at the time of writing.
What action should be taken following the publication of the public inquiry?
