Malta is different! The Chairman of Malta's largest Bank, Gordon Cordina, has a nice side hustle through E-Cubed Consultants Limited, a company registered in Malta and operating from its Mosta offices. Gordon Cordina owns half of the shares of E-cubed Consultants Ltd and serves as a director. His partner is Stephanie Vella. The firm's auditors are RSM Malta Ltd. Fintelegram has received intelligence that clearly shows that Bank of Valletta's Chairman also acts as a consultant to the highly controversial Malta Gaming Authority (MGA).
The Malta Gaming Authority issued a gaming company's license knowing its ultimate beneficial owner was facing prosecution in Italy for financial crimes. According to documents received by Fintelegram, MGA was aware of criminal investigations against Marcel Boekhoorn and his Habanero Systems Limited during the licensing procedure. In 2019, the Durch billionaire Boekhoorn was accused by prosecutors in Reggio Calabria, Italy, of using "money, goods or assets of illicit origin."
