Habiba Perla, the dog owned by Joseph Muscat and his family, has asked for a presidential pardon to reveal everything she knows about the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia.
Perla’s request comes after it was reported yesterday that George and Alfred Degiorgio had also asked for a pardon to reveal everything they know about the murder. Alleged mastermind Yorgen Fenech had also asked for a pardon when first arrested.
“Having been the Muscat family dog for the past few years, I have been privy to many sensitive conversations regarding Daphne’s murder, Electrogas, and of course Egrant. I am now ready to reveal all,” the pure-breed chow chow said.
“However, I myself have not always been a good dog. So in exchange for my testimony, I want immunity from prosecution for my involvement in the theft of several Maltese sausages from a butcher shop in Qawra in 2018.”
The dog also listed a number of other lesser crimes she claims to have taken part in, including digging a hole on ODZ land without a permit, urinating on the wheel of a police car, and public indecency with a stranger’s leg.
Asked about its motivations for becoming an informant, Perla said:
“Frankly, I can’t stand being this horrible family’s pet anymore. They’re tacky, vulgar, and Michelle is a total bitch. As in she’s an unpleasant woman, not a female dog like me. I’d rather live in a shelter than spend more one second as their Instagram prop.”
