The police, Malta’s Prime Minister Robert Abela and Justice Minister Jonathan Attard have so far refused to say whether the state has issued an EAW for Ramzi, who is out on bail for murder, attempted murder and a host of other crimes.

Police are now completely ignoring questions on the matter and are avoiding giving any sort of update on the case.

Ramzi’s history with crime dates back to 2016 when he was charged with attempted murder following a fight with bouncers in which he brandished a sword. He was released on bail for the case, which is ongoing.

He was back in court in December 2017 over charges of aggravated theft, cocaine possession and breaching his bail conditions, but was once again released on bail while a verdict is yet to be reached.

In 2018 Ramzi’s crimes escalated and he was charged with beating to death Mahmoud Elmejdi in Ħamrun, as well as holding another two against their will and threatening to kill them. Ramzi was also released on bail in this case, which is also yet to be concluded.

A year later, Ramzi was charged with two separate cases in the same month, which included several thefts and possession of illegal weapons.

Despite breaching his bail conditions numerous times, Ramzi was also granted bail in this case and ordered to sign the bail book at the police station in Qormi.

The next two years were relatively quiet, but he found himself in the news once again after he was linked to the high-profile murder of Mario Farrugia but was released without charge pending investigation.

What do you think of the police’s radio silence?
