Former police inspector is new operations director at Corradino
Emanuel Camilleri appointed CCF director of operations
The home affairs ministry has appointed Emanuel Camilleri, a former police inspector, to the role of acting director of operations at the Corradino Correctional Facility.
Camilleri takes up his post in the wake of the resignation of Abraham Zammit, following an inquiry into a number of prison warders who were not at their posts during a surprise visit by home affairs minister Emanuel Mallia.
The government will appoint another director to take care of correctional services at CCF.
Camilleri entered the police in 1976, moving up to the grade of sergeant in 1980 and finally as inspector in 1989. He left in 2002 after 25 years of service.
Camilleri was a teacher of personal & social development, and is a court-appointed expert in criminal matters. He has lectured at the University of Malta on domestic violence and human rights, and he holds degrees in criminology and human rights from the University of Malta, where he specialised in domestic violence cases in the Maltese courts.
Camilleri will serve as an observer on the prisons' reform board.
