Former police commissioner John Rizzo said it was the Prime Minister's chief of staff Keith Schembri who offered him a post at the Civil Protection Department, overturning Joseph Muscat's offer for a post with the Security Service. "I did not resign but I was transferred," he told the public inquiry into the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia. Rizzo said he had been promised a post in the Security Service by the Prime Minister. Farrugia said Keith Schembri had access to the fourth floor. In the last sitting, held on 27 December, the Board heard Paul Caruana Galizia testify how Keith Schembri had tried to associate Daphne Caruana Galizia’s murder with fuel smuggling by feeding misinformation to the media despite being privy to investigations.
