Identità has denied Jason Azzopardi’s claim of a security breach at its Msida offices and said an alarm went off early this morning due to a faulty sensor.

“Identità categorically denies allegations of a security breach at its Msida premises, or of having received any order from the enquiring magistrate,” a statement read.

“This morning, an alarm was sounded on two floors of the Msida premises, including the floor where the server room is located.”

“Preliminary findings suggest that the false alarm was caused by a faulty sensor. A thorough inspection of the highly secure server room and the entire premises revealed no issues or irregularities.”

“There was no security breach, and the Agency’s systems remain fully intact. A review of CCTV footage showed no signs of foul play. All logs and CCTV footage are meticulously preserved as a preventive measure to ensure complete transparency.”

“No applications or submitted documents are stored in the room in question because the agency’s servers are hosted by MITA.”

They added that the decision to seal the Expatriates Unit’s archives was not made by the magistrate overseeing an inquiry but by Identità’s management.

“Identità premises are under constant surveillance by security personnel, with 24/7 monitoring. All entry logs and CCTV footage are securely recorded and accessible exclusively by authorised compliance personnel,” they said.
