For 15 months, the country has waited to find out the truth. Do the Prime Minister and his wife own a company in Panama called Egrant or was this the biggest lie in Malta’s political history, as they had claimed?

It seems we might soon find out. The inquiring magistrate Aaron Bugeja has finally concluded his voluminous investigation and passed it on to the Attorney General for review.

Sources say the main findings are expected to emerge this weekend and the Prime Minister, who has shied away from interviews for a while, has already pledged to comment once the inquiry is published.

Lovin Malta had followed the case closely after the allegations – which preceded a snap election – were made by Daphne Caruana Galizia, the blogger journalist who was killed in a car bomb six months later. Ahead of the publication of the magistrate’s findings, this is your chance to refresh your memory into all the aspects of the case, with these award-winning* articles.
