DIR 02/25 | Public statements undermining investigations
The Council has noted various public statements made to the press, particularly in the past 48 hours, by periti directly or indirectly associated with the collapse of an apartment block on Triq Paceville, Paceville, on the night of 11th June 2025.
While the Council appreciates the high stakes surrounding this case for all periti involved, the ongoing public disputes in the media are undermining the Council’s investigation into the incident.
The Council urges restraint and caution from periti, their representatives, and/or anyone acting on their behalf when making public statements regarding this incident. Further escalation may constitute conduct discreditable to the profession under Article 15(1) of the Periti Act (Cap. 390) and could result in disciplinary action.
Perit André Pizzuto
President
