Police Find Threatening Messages On Floriana Protestors’ Paper Planes
The police have found threatening messages on the back of two paper planes which were thrown into the courtyard of the police headquarters during yesterday’s protest.
The messages, which have the same handwriting, are warnings to police commissioner Laurence Cutajar – telling him to “sleep with one eye open” and that “we know where you live”.
It was first reported by Labour’s media station One News, which described yesterday’s protest – organised by the Civil Society Network – as the latest in a long line of antagonistic attacks by the Nationalist Party against Cutajar and Attorney General Peter Grech.
The Civil Society Network disassociated itself from the messages, emphasising in a tweet that yesterday’s protest was a peaceful one.
CSN totally disaccociates itself from any threats written to the Police Commissioner. CSN emphasised that its sit-in was peaceful. #Malta

Some 200 people took part in yesterday’s protest, held in the wake of the assassination of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia last month. The protestors demanded the resignations of Cutajar and Grech, and called for their replacements to be elected by a two-thirds parliamentary majority.
