1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: A note to listeners, this episode contains a reference to suicide.

2
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 2: The escalation in the number of criminals being murdered by

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: each other gives us some idea of the surge and

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: growth of the underworld. An underworld of this nature, which

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 2: is now moved into contract killings and the elimination of rivals,

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 2: will definitely have a network in the country's power structures,

7
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 2: because the two go together.

8
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: Early twenty eighteen, a few months after Dafnese murder, the

9
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: assassins Vincent de kof Moscat, Chinese George de Georgio and

10
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: Alfred de Bin de Georgio are in Malta's Cordine prison

11
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: awaiting trial. So far, none of them are talking. It's

12
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: an investigative dead end. Mister Alleged Mastermind, the powerful, wealthy

13
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: individual who allegedly ordered Daphnese murder, still seems invulnerable. He

14
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: is not even considered a suspect, and it appears that,

15
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: thanks to Alleged Mastermind's close friendships with corrupt police officers

16
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: and senior politicians, every detail of the police investigation is

17
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: known to him. He seems invincible. That leaves this guy,

18
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: our middleman, Melvin Toma, the taxi driver, Dodgy Bucky and

19
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: occasional long Shark, who recruited the assassins, oversaw the murder

20
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: and reports back to mister alleged Mastermind.

21
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 3: Melvin the Middleman is the only member of this criminal

22
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: enterprise who knows mister Alleged Mastermind's true identity, the only

23
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 3: person who can connect mister Alleged Mastermind to Japanese murder,

24
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 3: and Melvin the Middleman is still free, at least from

25
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 3: the authorities, but he's far from free from the rest

26
00:01:53,680 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: of the gang, and his obligations are only increasing. From

27
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: iHeart podcast topic studios in Vespucci, I'm.

28
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: John Sweeney and I'm Manuel Delia and.

29
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 3: This is Crooks Everywhere, Episode six, Carbon Culture. On this morning,

30
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 3: Melvin the Middleman is paying one of his regular visits

31
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 3: to a modest home in Marsa, the hometown of the killers.

32
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 3: These visits may not look like much, but they are

33
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: a window into this world, a world where the assassination

34
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 3: of a journalist, where Daphne's cold blooded murder is possible,

35
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 3: and in its way, this visit will be a masterclass

36
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 3: in power and how to exert it.

37
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: So on this day, Melvin de Middleman is paying a

38
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: family visit, but it's far from friendly. The following is

39
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: a dramatization based on Melvin de Middlemanto Ma's court testimony.

40
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: It streamlines multiple events that took place during this period.

41
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: The man who answers the door hurries him inside. Melvin

42
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: the Middleman mustn't be seen in front of the house

43
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: for long. Melvin reassures him, Hat, Marani, no one is

44
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: watching me. He's wrong about that. As it happens, the

45
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: man whose house this is is Mario de Georgio, the

46
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: older brother of two of the killers, Chinese George de

47
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: Georgio and Alfred de Bin de Georgio. Mario de Georgio

48
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: is in his early sixties, wears glasses and looks like

49
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: an ordinary pensioner, But like the whole family, he's not

50
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: someone you want to upset.

51
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 3: The oldest to Giorgio brother has been officially registered as

52
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 3: out of work for the last fourteen years, and he

53
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: seems to be living comfortably. Melvin the Middleman says that

54
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: he sees gold chains and a diamond studied rolex during

55
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: his visits. Because Daphne's actual killers are locked up, Melvin

56
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: alleges that Mario has been designated as the killer's official

57
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: representative and spokesman on the outside. It's what Daphne would

58
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: call a moral faminalism in action. Greed, power and criminality

59
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 3: channels through family ties and family loyalty, in this case,

60
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: family ties that allow the killers to reach through the

61
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 3: prison walls and continue shaping events in the outside world.

62
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: Even if the older the Georgia brother, Mario does not

63
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: have the same criminal history as his two younger brothers,

64
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: he is now their eyes and ears, managing some of

65
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: their sensitive business arrangements, like this visit from Melvin, the middleman.

66
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: Whatever happens this house called must remain completely see. Mario

67
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: de Georgia asks Melvin if he has the afaid things

68
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: and Monty they agreed upon deliveries. Melvin nods and begins

69
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: pulling out parcels from his bag, placing them on the table.

70
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: The food comes first, parcels of rabbit, traditional Maltese cheeses

71
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: and delicious to revise steaks Chinese. George and Alfred de

72
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: Bean may be behind bars on murder charges, but that's

73
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: no reason for them to eat bland prison food like

74
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: ordinary criminals, and Melvin doesn't just need to provide the

75
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: prison picnics. He's expected personally to foot the bill for

76
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: this too.

77
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 3: If Melvin the Middleman finds all this humiliating, the switch

78
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 3: from hiring Japanese killers to acting as their butler, he

79
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 3: doesn't show it.

80
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: But steaks and rabbit are and the only thing Melvin

81
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: the Middleman has been asked to bring on this visit.

82
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: Mario asks if he has the other stuff. Melvin jumps

83
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: to and passes over the first bulging anth. It's backed

84
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: with big denomination banknotes, the euro equivalent of thousands of dollars.

85
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: Maria de Georgia Counct one two, three thousand. That's all there.

86
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 3: Japanese Killers have let it be known that while they're

87
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 3: behind bars, they also expect certain other things to be

88
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 3: taken care of. All three of them are family men

89
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 3: with partners and children, so weekly donation has been requested

90
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 3: to pay for family expenses, everything from private school fees

91
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 3: to health insurance, all on top of the original fee

92
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 3: they were paid for the murder. This regular donation has

93
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: got steadily larger as the weeks have gone by, and

94
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 3: once again this is all coming out of Melvin the

95
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: Middleman's own pocket.

96
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: Now, the second envelope of banknotes is handed over, this

97
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: one even larger. This is to cover some of the

98
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: murderer's legal fees tens of thousands of dollars. The kind

99
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: of lawyers they want don't come cheap. According to Melvin

100
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: the middleman alleged master mindset he would be paying for this,

101
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: and should also be funding all the expenses involved with

102
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: keeping the assassins happy behind bars, But in fact he's

103
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: come up short. So Melvin is reaching into his own

104
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: pocket again to make up the difference, and that keeps happening.

105
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 4: So jibobawaya.

106
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 3: Here's the reason that Melvin finds himself personally bankrolling so

107
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 3: many of the assassin's expenses. The reason he finds himself

108
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 3: funding a murder plot that wasn't his idea and that

109
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 3: he doesn't benefit from. He simply can't say no. Melvin

110
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 3: the Middleman knows that at any point, any one of

111
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 3: the three killers behind bars could begin talking to the authorities.

112
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: So Melvin the Middleman's own freedom depends on their continued silence.

113
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: So each week and each month, as the demands for

114
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: cash and gifts grow greater and greater, Melvin the Middleman

115
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: hands over more and more banknotes to Mario de Georgio.

116
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: Much later in court, Melvin the Middleman will describe himself

117
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: as feeling blackmailed and having his back to the wall

118
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: when faced with these demands from the Georgios. But however

119
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: he feels for now he keeps paying, and around this

120
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: time it almost seems as though the Georgia clan is

121
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: actively enjoying testing how far they can push Melvin's generosity.

122
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: The fluffy dog that Mario de Georgia now keeps as

123
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: a pet, the one sniffing at the coffee table, that

124
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: was another unwilling gift from Melvin. It's not just any pet.

125
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: The Georgia wanted a designer pedigree dog imported all the

126
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: way from China, one that costs nearly six thousand dollars online.

127
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: Melvin the Middleman paid up again at any greed time.

128
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: During the visit, Mario de Georgio gets a phone call

129
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: from inside Corde Prison. It's the younger of the Georgia brothers, Alfred,

130
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: being the Georgia. He wants to know that everything is

131
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: running according to plan. Mario de Georgia confirms that Melvin

132
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: the Middleman has brought what he supposedly owes for this week,

133
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: including their bi steaks and the cheese, and from inside

134
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: cordeen prison, the two brothers tell Mario that they have

135
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: a special message to pass on to Melvin the middle Man.

136
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: Melvin something for him to hear and bear in mind

137
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: at all times. Okay, the oldest the Georgia brother listens

138
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: and then looks his visitor dead in the eye and

139
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: repeats word for word the messages on the inside, not

140
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: those on the outside.

141
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: Mario Georgia will later be charged with blackmail and money

142
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: in connection with the Tessamiley about these events by Melvin

143
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,719
Speaker 3: the Middleman, married to Georgio, who's pleaded not guilty, and

144
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 3: the proceedings are still continuing.

145
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: So it appears that Melvin the Middleman is caught in

146
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: a delicate web connected to both mister alleged Mastermind on

147
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: one side, and did the Georgios and Vincent the Cough

148
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: on the other, and it's pretty fragile. His predicament is

149
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: in many ways a product of Malta's unique gang culture,

150
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: a culture of impunity and power and money, the same

151
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: culture that killed Daphne. In fact, the very method use

152
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: to murder her is virtually a hallmark of our homegrown mafia,

153
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: which brings us to the next piece of the puzzle,

154
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: the carbonb.

155
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 3: So Manuel, where are we?

156
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: This is in Sea Duck Creek, which is a very

157
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: busy junction connecting the center to the north of the island.

158
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 3: And what happened here.

159
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: Well a few years back, just across the street early

160
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: in the morning, in rush hour traffic, a car blew up.

161
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: So let me read you this. This is from Malta today,

162
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: twentyeth February twenty seventeen, forty year old man from Floriana

163
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: has been critically injured after a car exploded in McDuck

164
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: close to the Workers Monument. That's the thing behind me here.

165
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 1: The victim, who has lost both legs in the explosion

166
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: has been identified as Romeo Bone. Only last year, Bone

167
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: was cleared of participating into two thousand and seven Port

168
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 1: Tomas or jewelry heist. Listen to this. The explosion took

169
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: place at around ten thirty am, causing traffic creos in

170
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: the area. The witnesses said that Bone was dragged away

171
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: from the car by passers by, who also reported that

172
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: he was conscious and was able to identify himself.

173
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 3: And was anybody arrested tried convicted for this car bombing.

174
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: This was one of a long series of car bombs,

175
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: and over none of those car bombs was there ever

176
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: any arrest, never mind charges or prosecution or any of that.

177
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: No one was ever arrested for these. There's also this

178
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: spectacular factor, right, this is a ball of fire in

179
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: the middle of the road. Is someone being pulled out

180
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: without their legs from that car? And this is where

181
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: a bit of reaction starts. The public starts expecting the

182
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: police to act on this because the police are not

183
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: making any arrest, they're not getting anywhere.

184
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 3: So the gangsters who were blowing people up, what was

185
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 3: there to take away from this When nobody's arrested, nobody's prosecuted, uncertainly,

186
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 3: nobody's convicted.

187
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 1: I think the most important messages that they could get

188
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: away with it that this was fine, that this method

189
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: would work. In fact, when you study the series of

190
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: car bombings that preceded Daphne's more some patterns emerge. First

191
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: the sheer frequency.

192
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 4: There was one in January six, twenty sixteen, another in

193
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 4: September twenty sixteen. You know, there was one in October

194
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 4: twenty sixteen. January twenty seventeen, February twenty seventeen.

195
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: You know, Julian Bonici is a former Maltese journalist who

196
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: has tried to catalog these killings.

197
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 4: These are five car bombs within the space of a

198
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 4: year and nothing was done about it. Five bombs and

199
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 4: a yeah should be a major red flag.

200
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: There had been nineteen bomb attacks, many of them car bombs,

201
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: in the seven years leading up to Dafnese murder in

202
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: a country the size of Malta with a population of

203
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: only half a million people. That's an incredible statistic. And

204
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: the second pattern that emerged is the similarity in the

205
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: carbon devices, suggesting an organized infrastructure a production line behind

206
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: each attack. Dafnee bomb appears to have come from this

207
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: production line. Take the killing of John Camillary, blown up

208
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: around the year before Deafnie.

209
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 4: He was meted by carbon in Saint Paul's Bay. The

210
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 4: car bomb was particularly powerful, you know, during the day,

211
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 4: it was a really shocking scene.

212
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: News footage shows a white car turned almost inside out

213
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: by the blast, the roof peeled back and blackened, all

214
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: in the middle of a normal residential street.

215
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 4: And the bomb, much like very similar other cases, was

216
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 4: placed on the Camilliary seat and was detonated by mobile.

217
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 4: But what's very interesting about this murder is Camilary was

218
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 4: also chasing Georgia Georgia for some money at the time,

219
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 4: for over fifty two thousand euros.

220
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: Yes, Chinese George de Georgio, one of Dafnie's assassins, and

221
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: allegedly the man who drove the car in the drive

222
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: by murder of the lawyer carmelker Kopp that we heard

223
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: about in episode one. It's probably a good moment to

224
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: emphasize that no one has been convicted for the Camillary

225
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: killing or any of the other car bombs other than Daphny's.

226
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: So in the majority of these murders we don't know

227
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: officially or otherwise who carried them out. But as is

228
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: becoming increasingly clear, there are many more people involved than

229
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: just those who pull the trigger or in this case,

230
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: detonate the bomb. There is a wider organized infrastructure and

231
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: the same names start to come up. If we ask

232
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: who supplied all the materials for the bomb that killed Daphnie,

233
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: another connection with previous bombings seems to emerge. According to

234
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: later testimony by Vincent, the kof those materials were supplied

235
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: by a criminal gang led by two notorious brothers, Adrian

236
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: and Robert Tajus. Their organization's street name is Talmaksar. No

237
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: translation of this phrase works.

238
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 3: Vincent macaff was telling people that Talmukshah had worked closely

239
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 3: with the Di Giorgios and him for years. He later

240
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 3: estimated that at one point Seal Makshah were handing over

241
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 3: the equivalent of twenty one thousand dollars per month through

242
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 3: the Georgios for quotes work end quotes. The two criminal

243
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 3: gangs appeared to have cooperated closely on other things too.

244
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 3: In the Carmel Kirkopp drive by murder, the shooter was

245
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 3: allegedly Jamie Vella, an alleged associate of tal Muxar doctor

246
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 3: kirk Coopp. The victim was owed money by one of

247
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 3: the tal Muxar brothers, and according to Vincent the Cough,

248
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 3: Jamie Veller and Robert Adjus were also closely involved in

249
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 3: the logistics of Daphne's murder too. Remember, the first plan

250
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 3: was to kill Daphne by shooting her through the window

251
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 3: of her home. Tal Maxa's Robert Adeus was alleged to

252
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 3: have supplied the rifles.

253
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: When that plan was abandoned. And the decision was made

254
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: to switch to a car bomb. The police believe Jamievella

255
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: picked up the bomb in Sicily and brought it to

256
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: Malta on the ferry, an import service of a kind.

257
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: Vincent Dakoff was a unsurprised. He said that Al Maksarman

258
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: were known to have many Italian friends and not too

259
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: subtle reference to connections with the mafia. And there are

260
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: also striking similarities between the bomb that killed Daphne and

261
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: the device that donated in rush hour traffic at mcd creek.

262
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: The bomb that amputated Romeo Bone's legs also triggered by

263
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: cell phone.

264
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 4: What's very interesting about this med is that the court

265
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 4: sittings have revealed, you know, a potential link, you know,

266
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 4: between this explosion of Romeo Bone, Vince and Vince Musca,

267
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 4: George Georgia and Alfred de Georgia, or the three men

268
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 4: charged with murdering Dafnieasa.

269
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 3: According to Vincent Lakoff's testimony, Japhanes's gillers were so conscious

270
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 3: of the fact that mister Bone had survived that they

271
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 3: discussed whether it was wise to use a similar device

272
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 3: to kill Daphne. They put these professional concerns to Tom

273
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 3: Maxar's Robert Aurjeus as the bomb supplier, and they got

274
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 3: an intriguing and detailed answer. The Romeo bone bomb had

275
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 3: failed to kill its target, they were told, because it

276
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 3: had been placed under the car's key lock, not under

277
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 3: the seat, and so the blast had been misdirected. The

278
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 3: kind of detailed information that you would need to be

279
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 3: close to the perpetrators to know, it might seem.

280
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: Once again, no one has ever been convicted of any

281
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: of these crimes other than Daphanie's murder.

282
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 3: Roberts Us and Jamie Veller are currently awaiting trial for

283
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 3: complicity in Daphanese's murder as well as the Carmel Kirkop killing,

284
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 3: alongside other charges. Edrin ADUs is a waiting trial for

285
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 3: involvement in the Carmel Kirk coop killing, but is not

286
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 3: charged with involvement in Daphane's murder. They all deny the charges.

287
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 2: October twelfth, twenty fourteen. Some background on crime gang Adrian Adjus.

288
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 3: Daphne did not write much on street crime in Malta,

289
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 3: but she did write one post about Adrian Adjus.

290
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: It was a characteristically fearless post and it mentioned another

291
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: business associate of mister Ajus, who had disappeared suddenly.

292
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 2: Adrian Addus's friend and close associate, the drug dealer Terence

293
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 2: janen Say, vanished in November twenty twelve after telling his

294
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 2: family that he was going fishing. His car was found

295
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 2: parked and locked, and his yacht was still at its

296
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 2: usual mooring. None of his bank accounts have been touched

297
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 2: since he has presumed dead. He was twenty four when

298
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 2: he vanished.

299
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: It's important to note that Daphni never directly accused Adrian

300
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: Ajus of the murder, and he was never convicted. Surprisingly,

301
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: it's possible that we know exactly what Adrian Ajews thought

302
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: about this blog post. Under the post, one of Daphne's

303
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: fans had written anonymously praising her for covering this topic

304
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 1: and raising further questions about mister Ajus's family criminal history.

305
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: Mister A Juice appears to have responded to this fan.

306
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: Someone posting and Adrianajus's name wrote, I know you don't

307
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: have the balls, but if you find them somewhere in

308
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: your wife's pocket, let's meet up and we sort things out.

309
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 4: You are just a low life afraid to show your face.

310
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 4: Unsolved murders in themselves are a little bit part of

311
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 4: multi sculpture.

312
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: I'd hate to say it.

313
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 4: You know, we've had some really high profile killings in

314
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 4: the country, murders that just sort of went code. A

315
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 4: sort of question that always needed in my mind is

316
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 4: why these, particularly Mathia style murders never got solved.

317
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 3: Take the car bombings for example. The space of these

318
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 3: bombings in the years leading up to Japanese's death was

319
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 3: so pronounced, but it provided the impetus for the police

320
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 3: to purchase a special computed database to collate and store

321
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 3: evidence of these killings going years. So when Daphne was murdered,

322
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 3: that should have been the starting point for police to

323
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 3: tease out these very patents and connections from previous crimes.

324
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 3: But when the officer leading the investigation into Daphne's death

325
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 3: opened the database, he found almost nothing. Later he described

326
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 3: this as bare, almost unused, and the crimes remained unsolved.

327
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: And that brings us to one of Daphnie's great themes,

328
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: Malta's culture of corruption.

329
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 4: It's impossible and mold not to have connections. You know,

330
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 4: your minister, your police officer is not twenty kilometers away,

331
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 4: he's down the road. You know, you can't bump into

332
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 4: him at the supermarket, he said, you know, so, yeah,

333
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 4: what I did it created this. I think it just

334
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 4: adds to the climate and the culture of empiathetics and

335
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 4: the more the.

336
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: Same impunity that fueled both the high level misdeeds exposed

337
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: in Dafnes's blog and our epidemic of car bombings and

338
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: contract killings.

339
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 4: Criminals are confident in Morta, all the hitmen they did

340
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 4: it because they thought they could get away with it.

341
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 4: I think they were probably sure they could get away

342
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,719
Speaker 4: with it. I mean major crime in mals are at

343
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 4: least for me. I mean, this is my perspective, and

344
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 4: I think the fact and figures would back me up.

345
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 4: Is that goes ignored, you know, whether it's a question

346
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 4: of resources in the police department, whether it's a question

347
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 4: of you know, corruption, bribery and what it does. Obviously

348
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 4: it creates a climate where these things can happen.

349
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 3: Indeed, these things can happen. So for all these reasons,

350
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,479
Speaker 3: when Melvin the Middleman is paying visits to Mario de

351
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 3: Giorgio and Marsa and making his regular donations of food,

352
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 3: cash and gifts, he is every good reason to fear

353
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 3: those on the inside. But Melvin the Middleman is also

354
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 3: reaching breaking point. He's beginning to realize that he is

355
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 3: far out of his depth with this crime and its aftermath.

356
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: Soon after the arrest of the de Georgios and Vincent

357
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,959
Speaker 1: de Kov, Melvin the Middleman takes out a will for

358
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: the first time, he begins drinking heavily and taking tranquilizers. Later,

359
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: he will testify that his relationship with his boss, mister

360
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: Alleged Mastermind, also changes. Although the two of them have

361
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: known and trusted each other for decades, for the first time,

362
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: Melvin the Middleman begins to fear his old friend and godfather,

363
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: fear him almost as much as he fears the de Georgios.

364
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: As ever, Melvin the Middleman is aware that he is

365
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 1: the only man who knows Alleged Mastermind's role in Dafne's murder,

366
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: and so if he Melvin were to disappear Suddenly, he

367
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: realizes it might of an important problem for mister Alleged Mastermind.

368
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: For all their years of friendship, nothing can change that fact,

369
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 1: And increasingly Melvin the Middleman sees that what happened to

370
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: people like Romeo Bone, Carmelker Cobb, John Camilly and Tiffany

371
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: herself could happen to him, and if it did happen,

372
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: he also knows there is little chance mister alleged Mastermind

373
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: would ever be caught.

374
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 3: At times, Melvin contemplates turning himself into the police, even

375
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 3: driving to a police station, before turning back at the

376
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 3: last minute, fearing the power and influence of mister alleged Mastermind.

377
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: And as time goes on, Melvin's drinking and self control

378
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: keep getting worse. At one point, he turns up at

379
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: Alleged Mastermind's office in front of important international businessmen, wanting reassurance.

380
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: As the police investigation develops and the international pressure on

381
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: Malta is so off, Daphne's murder grows, mister Eliged master

382
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: Mind continues to try to calm Melvin the Middleman down.

383
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: He reminds him of the political connections that are in

384
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: their favor. He texts him not to panic, to stay strong.

385
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: They both know that if Melvin cracks under the pressure,

386
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: he might bring them both down, and so the measures

387
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: mister religid master Mind takes to keep Melvin the Middleman

388
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: on side become more extravagant. At one point he even

389
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: pays for Melvin and his family to have a beach

390
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: holiday at his expense to reduce their stress levels. But Melvin,

391
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: perhaps wisely, is not reassured. He senses the risk of

392
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: betrayal ever more strongly. Years later, in court, Melvin the

393
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 1: Middleman described how Daphne's fate, the murder he had organized

394
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: as a favor, now felt like a warning for his

395
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: own future. I thought it was my turn now, he said.

396
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: One evening, mister alleged Mastermind tries to cheer Melvin up

397
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: with a gift of some meat and wine to take home,

398
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,719
Speaker 1: but Melvin doesn't dare touch it. Jason Atterpietly asked him

399
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: about this in court. He believed it was poisoned and

400
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: he threw it away.

401
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 5: He said in court that too much, I was afraid

402
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 5: for my life, and.

403
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 3: The pressure from mister alleged Mastermind, from quotes those inside,

404
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 3: and from the police investigation continues to build. One night,

405
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,959
Speaker 3: he becomes too much. He drinks whiskey and takes pills,

406
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 3: and then he climbs up onto the roof of his house,

407
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 3: having decided to end it all, And at the top

408
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 3: he waits, but something stops him.

409
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: He later said that at that moment in his mind,

410
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 1: he imagined mister Leig, mastermind, with his legs crossed, smoking

411
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 1: a cigar to celebrate getting away with everything, and the

412
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 1: idea of that made him decide instead to fight for

413
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: his survival, and.

414
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 3: He realizes there is one way he can begin to

415
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 3: protect himself by using the secrets he's carrying to his

416
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 3: own advantage a weapon to defend himself. One thing that

417
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 3: those responsible for Daphne's murder haven't considered.

418
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: And there's something else they didn't reckon on Daphne's family

419
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: and their own determination to bring her killers to justice

420
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: whatever the cost.

421
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,719
Speaker 5: We were turning up with speaking points about the corruption crisis,

422
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 5: and in doing so, we were in a way dehumanizing

423
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 5: our own mother. We were turning her into a case,

424
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 5: and we were turning ourselves into campaigners rather than grieving songs.

425
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:08,639
