Unverified Dalligate Email over Swedish Match Offer Revealed

The Maltese police are considering whether to exhibit in court an email allegedly sent by lawyer Gayle Kimberley to Silvio Zammit - the man accused of soliciting a bribe in the Dalligate affair - which could implicate her in the €60 million bribe allegedly sought to influence European tobacco rules.

The lawyer for Kimberley, Giannella de Marco, claims the email "has been shown to be false" but the document remains in the hands of police investigators and is not yet exhibited in court.

The email, seen by MaltaToday, is dated 14 February at 7:31pm - the day after Silvio Zammit was accused of having asked Swedish Match official Johan Gabrielsson for €60 million to lift an EU retail ban on the smokeless tobacco snus which is legal only in Sweden. Enditem
