Zabbar local on the run in Ghana

Aaron Galea from Zabbar is on the run in Ghana after allegedly defrauding people large sums of money, while representing a property company LP Investors Ltd, offering to invest peoples’ money in property overseas.

Newspaper Kullhadd reports that LP Investors, a Maltese firm, doesn’t have the necessary licences to provide public financial services, and neither does Galea. However, according to the newspaper’s sources, he made around €1 million off his victims.

People affected by Galea’s exploitation spoke to the same newspaper and revealed they had signed a contract with Galea before notary JoJo Zammit La Rosa. Those defrauded said that despite having filed reports a while back, they are finding very little help from the police.

The police allegedly told the victims that nothing can be done now that the person involved has escaped. When asked about any advancement on the case, the police refused to comment due to the sensitive nature of the case.

Persons affected by Galea’s actions who attempted to call him in Ghana were reportedly taken aback by his cheek. When threatened by the fraud victims, Galea simply answered “you won’t find me here”.

Galea’a wife and children are reportedly still living in Malta, currently in Tarxien. One woman who came forward with information said she was robbed of €45,000, and left with nothing but a broken family.
