The names of the four persons accused of the carousel money laundering case, which were banned from publication last week by Magistrate Lawrence Quintano, were published in the Government Gazette last Friday.
Although the court ban unexplainably prohibits the media from publishing the names of a woman and three men – all Maltese, the official government gazette listed their full names, ages, addresses and identity card numbers.
The government gazette reported that the criminal court had ordered that all the money and moveable property belonging to the accused could not be transferred or disposed of in any way.
The court heard how around Lm900,000 were transferred from Italy into Maltese bank accounts, changed into two bank drafts and distributed through a brokerage in a money laundering operation.
