Illum newspaper reports on how the health ministry is paying Parksec company €62,000 to manage the Mater Dei car park while the company retains hundreds of thousands in parking fees.
But the ministry has no idea what revenue the car park is generating at Mater Dei!
Parksec also gets €37,000 from the ministry for a special car park it manages for 50 parking spaces for renal unit patients.
And between 2008 and April 2010, the ministry took back €92,000 in parking fees paid by Mater Dei employees who use the car park.

Can this be a fairy tale?
Job or service getting easy money which generates 10x Euros which under normal circumstances (capital investments - in this case it is parking facilities at Mater Dei built with tax payers' money) should generate net profits of 2x. Since little capital investments were made by the company, actual net profits = 10x less 1x (expenses) less 35% tax on revenue = approx 6x. The profits are divided (possibly 50:50) between the operating company (3x instead of 2x) and un-audited contributions to a political organization.

Anybody knows who are the owners/shareholders/management of Parksec??

Hey, this is like the story of the attendant at the British zoo . A man who pretended to be a car park attendant at Britain's Bristol Zoo for 25 years made off with millions of pounds worth of ill-gotten parking fees and now resides in a villa in Spain?. Which was found to be false, but fantastic as it sound similar is the true !!.

'The ministry has no idea what revenue the car park is generating' a.k.a 'How to be an accomplice in screwing the people.'
