George Farrugia’s brothers are being investigated by the Police in the wake of allegations that ‘gifts’ were allegedly passed on to politicians, di-ve.com has learnt.

Mr Farrugia turned state informer through a presidential pardon to provide information on persons involved in the cash-for-oil scandal in the procurement of oil for Enemalta.

The sources told di-ve.com that the Police are investigating the allegation that a ‘gift’ was passed to a politician and if this could have been handed over by one of the Farrugia brothers and not necessarily George Farrugia himself.
