John Rizzo refuses to give up his two detail officers

Former Police Commissioner John Rizzo has refused to return the car he used while he served his term as Commissioner of the Police and is also insisting on keeping the two police officers who were stationed with him.

According to Sunday newspaper Illum, Rizzo was "hurt" by the way he was asked to resign his post by the Labour government.

Despite being offered the post of head of the Civil Protection Department, police sources said Rizzo "failed to understand the Prime Minister's decision".

Prime Minister Joseph Muscat has always insisted that persons who held crucial positions should be persons of trust.
