No Deposit Cars clients request magisterial inquiry

A group of No Deposit Cars clients have formally requested the launch of a magisterial inquiry into their accusations.

They’ve been alleging serious crimes, including theft, money laundering, stalking and kidnapping.

Their accusations concern the company itself and its representatives Christian Borg, Joe Camenzuli, Luke Milton, Thorne Mangion, James Spiteri and Tyson Grech.

Two plaintiffs allege that, five or six years ago, Luke Milton and Christian Borg engaged a “Serbian national named Alexander and a Maltese man” to kidnap a Maltese youth and force him to sign bills of exchange”.

A No Deposit Cars employee named Noel allegedly engaged individuals to damage vehicles in order to force car rental clients to pay contractual penalties.

Some two or three years ago, the plaintiffs said, “Noel” had given order to set a Citroen rented from the company on fire in Msida.

In another allegation, plaintiffs said that Christian Borg was regularly spotted in the airport car park loading black bags full of cash into Tyson Grech’s car.

“The legal presumption is that these are and were moneys derived from criminal activity or from the commission of a crime”, the application states.

The document calls for an immediate launch of a magisterial inquiry, adding that a number of witnesses are prepared to testify in court.

Lawyers for Christian Borg’s companies have always denied the allegations, calling them “a mud-slinging campaign”.
