Enemalta's internal investigation into the scandal with wind farms in Montenegro has been forwarded to the police, Minister of Energy Miriam Dali said in the Parliament of Malta on Monday.
Responding to a parliamentary question by PN MP Rian Kalus, Dali said that it would be "premature" to announce the results of the investigation now because it could prejudice the work of the police, the Malta Independent reports.
Police, Dali said, are currently scouting to see if there is room for any investigation.
An investigation by the Times of Malta and Reuters revealed that the company 17 Black from Dubai, owned by Jorgen Fenek, made a profit of 4,6 million euros from the purchase of the Možura wind farm in Montenegro by Enemalta.
The Maltese government announced in November 2015 that it had won the project through Enemalta.
The data, however, show that on December 10, Fersa sold 99 percent of the stake in Možura to an intermediary, Cifidex Ltd. registered in Seychelles.
The remaining 1 percent of shares, owned by a local Montenegrin company, was also sold to Cifidex.
Cifidex paid 2,9 million euros for Možura shares. Two weeks later, he sold shares to Enemalta - for 10,3 million euros.
Cifidex bought the shares of the wind farm with 3 million euros borrowed from the company 17 Black. After Cifidex sold its shares to Enemalta, the offshore company repaid 3 million euros to 17 Black, plus an additional 4,6 million euros of "profit share".
The Dafne Caruana Galizia Foundation later claimed they had evidence in the form of e-mails that showed Cifidex was owned by SOCAR's Turab Musayev.
Former energy minister Konrad Mizzi was kicked out of the Labor caucus shortly after the scandal was exposed.
