“If it is true that it was discovered that Ali Sadri applied pressure on Malta and Cyprus for Efimova’s husband to be arrested, then…” read one of Azzopardi’s posts. 

In a second post, he said that “had Malta been a normal country”, Muscat would have been called upon to give an explanation about “certain facts” that led to an arrest warrant being issued in relation to Efimova. 

“Had the country been a normal one, where the police act on the orders of the Prime Minister, the Commissioner of Police would have called a press conference to inform the public on a matter of national importance days ago.” 

In yet another post, he questioned the extent to which Muscat, former Pilatus Bank chairman Ali Sadr and passport scheme concessionaires Henley and Partners were involved in the attempt to have Varnava arrested.  

According to Delia, Interpol noted that Cyprus had not provided it with enough information on what Varnava was being sought for. 

Back in 2018, the Greek courts had thrown out a European Arrest Warrant issued by Malta against Efimova. 

The claims have also appeared on the blog of Kenneth Rijock, who in recent years has taken an interest in Malta, primarily through his reporting of the US’ case against Ali Sadr. 

He has made a number of extraordinary statements about public figures in Malta, and their affairs, though many remain difficult to prove. 

Rijock has published what he claims are transcripts from the Interpol decision which appear to be similar to the claims reported by Delia. 

He has promised to continue publishing more quotes from the report.
