Valletta (By News Agencies): Malta Deputy Prime Minister and Health Minister Chris Fearne’s Chief of Staff and close associate has denied taking several undeclared payments from controversial Indian-Canadian businessman Sri Ram Tumuluri but banking evidence establishes that she was beneficiary of several suspected corrupt payments. Documentary evidence shows that a company linked with Vital Global Healthcare (VGH) made multiple suspicious payments to Carmen Ciantar, Health Minister Chris Fearne’s chief of staff and close associate, in late 2015 and early 2016. Carmen Ciantar stepped down last week after leaked documents revealed she had received several undeclared payments from a company linked to controversial Indian-Canadian businessman Sri Ram Tumuluri, the CEO of UK-based Causis Group. The payments are linked to a deal in 2015 when Sri Ram Tumuluri’s firm VGH won a privatisation tender to manage three hospitals in Malta, St. Luke’s, Karin Grech and Gozo, despite having no relevant experience and no funding secured.
