A 90-year-old man who was run over in June by the head of the intelligence agency died of natural causes on Saturday night.
The Office of the Prime Minister made the surprise announcement late on Saturday that Godfrey Scicluna, head of the Security Service, had suspended himself pending the outcome of proceedings “connected to allegations of involvement in an involuntary traffic accident”.
When contacted by The Times, Mr Scicluna, 63, said: “I’m sorry; I do not speak to the media.”
The Times is informed that Mr Scicluna is expected to face charges of involuntary grievous bodily harm over the incident, which happened on June 2, 2011.
Sources said he was parking his car close to home, in Paola, when he hit the old man, who lived nearby. Mr Scicluna only realised he had hit the man after he exited the vehicle, sources said.
The man was taken to Mater Dei Hospital where he was certified to be suffering from grievous injuries.
The Sunday newspaper MaltaToday, which claimed to have instigated the investigation with questions sent to the police, reported Police Commissioner John Rizzo saying he was not aware of the incident before he received the questions from the newspaper.
