‘I Can’t Keep Up’: Elderly Woman’s Home Gets New Letterbox With Falsified Residence Permits For Indian Nationals, Jason Azzopardi Alleges
The home of a woman who had just been admitted into an elderly home ended up getting a random brand new letterbox days later with letters being sent to two Indian strangers to notify them they can pick up residence permits, lawyer and former PN MP Jason Azzopardi has claimed.
Less than 24 hours after he filed a court application requesting a magisterial inquiry into an alleged €60 million Identity Malta fraud racket which reportedly kicked off back in 2015 and also included claims of drug-fuelled parties with Colombian prostitutes, Azzopardi shared how the racket “is still going on up to two days ago”.
“Look how spread and serious the Identity Malta racket is,” Azzopardi wrote this afternoon, sharing a series of photos from the woman’s front door. “I am showing you a letterbox and letters sent from Identity Malta (understand that: sent from the State) to a number of Indian nationals last week”.

“The facts are as follows,” Azzopardi wrote, listing down the alleged series of alleged events:
- An elderly woman was admitted into a state-run elderly home last week.
- Her house never had a letterbox.
- Between last Sunday and Tuesday, an unknown person or persons went to stick up a letterbox on the facade of her house.
- Her son called Azzopardi because he thought it was suspicious, and Azzopardi told him to not remove the letterbox and keep him informed.
- Two days ago, the woman’s son went and found two letters addressed to “two Indians who he had never heard of before”.
- The two letters informed the Indian nationals that their residence permits were ready to be picked up, with authentication PINs being given and the address of the Valley Road offices of Identita’ being included.
“This means Identity Malta illicitly issued residence permits, ID cards and, as a result, freedom of movement to these Indian nationals, against the law and through corruption” Azzopardi wrote.
A lease agreement which shows that these people are renting the Maltese household must have also been falsified, he continued.
“Apart from all that, this means there is a criminal system where there is a person or persons within the Department of the Elderly who have access to the central database of admissions into state-run elderly homes which leak criminal information to Identity Malta so that these addresses are used for residence permits to be issued,” Azzopardi went on to conclude.
“Do you understand how big the octopus is?” the former MP continued. “And no one goes up to [Home Affairs Minister] Byron Camilleri to ask him, ‘What the fuck are you doing?!'”
Barely an hour later, Azzopardi shared a photo of another letter, this time addressed to a residence in Żabbar, which seems to have gone through the same illegal process.
“Believe me, I can’t keep up,” he wrote. “Another addressed that the criminals at Identity Malta used right up to a month ago. They registered an Indian man on the address of a Maltese family who lives there. This is an egregious scandal that also involves entities from other ministries.”
“No wonder these people are paying €8,000 each,” Azzopardi continued, saying the police are aware of this “cover-up” but Commissioner Angelo Gafà is complicit himself. “There are a lot of mouths to feed.”
