Once dirty money is introduced to the island, it remains a problem for the jurisdiction, the chairman from Malta’s Sanctions Monitoring Board has told a court this morning. MaltaToday has reported extensively on the issue of the smuggling of fuel from Libya in breach of UN sanctions. Debono’s brother is former Malta international footballer Darren Debono, who also stands charged with fuel smuggling and money laundering in separate proceedings. The sanctions targeted people from Libya, Malta and Egypt for "involvement in the smuggling of petroleum products from Libya to Europe". “I don’t think a country can fail to implement UN sanctions,” Aquilina replied.
