Peter Borg, Malta Enterprise deputy chairperson, resigned hours after the public inquiry into the 2022 construction site collapse was made public, Times of Malta reports.

Two other Malta Enterprise board members, lobbyist Paul Abela and unionist Victor Carachi, are also expected to resign. Both Abela and Carachi declined to comment when contacted. 

The resignation comes after Occupational Health and Safety Authority chairperson David Xuereb also confirmed he will quit.

Borg chaired Malta Enterprise’s investment committee and also served as the state entity’s deputy chairperson. Abela and Carachi also form part of that committee and sit on Malta Enterprise’s board. 

All were part of the committee when it approved a proposal by All Plus Ltd to build a furniture factory on government land in Corradino in May 2019.

Carachi later told the newspaper that he had resigned despite insisting he was not present when the decision to approve the Corradino factory was made.
