Earlier, Fil-Qosor reported on serious allegations linking a construction company to the Nadur Primary School project. New information has emerged, revealing that Said Construction, a company whose owners reportedly paid compensation to a 13-year-old girl following rape accusations, built new blocks at the Nadur Primary School in 2023.

This development has led to renewed discussions about the transparency of Malta's sex offenders register. Labour MP Rosianne Cutajar has publicly called for changes to the register, stating that the current system's bureaucracy protects predators.

Ms Cutajar highlighted that she had previously raised this issue months ago. She proposed that the sex offenders register should be made more accessible and transparent. The renewed focus on the Said brothers' case has brought her proposals back into the public eye.

Recent reports have confirmed that Said Construction, a company whose owners reportedly paid compensation to a 13-year-old girl following rape allegations, built new blocks at Nadur Primary School in 2023. This detail was highlighted by a video shared by the company itself, which showed their involvement in the school project.

The revelation has reignited public discussion and calls for greater transparency regarding Malta's sex offenders register. Labour MP Rosianne Cutajar has reiterated her demand for changes to the system, stating that she had previously raised this issue months ago. Ms Cutajar argued that current bureaucracy protects predators and advocated for a more accessible and transparent register.

The Maltese Herald has reported that Said Construction, a company whose owners reportedly paid compensation to a thirteen-year-old girl following rape allegations, was responsible for building new blocks at Nadur Primary School in 2023. The report also mentioned a video from the company.

Following renewed discussions surrounding the Said brothers' case, Labour MP Rosianne Cutajar has once again called for changes to Malta's sex offenders register. Ms Cutajar stated that she had raised this issue months ago, proposing that the system should be made more accessible. She emphasised her view that "bureaucracy protects predators."

ADPD, a political party, has raised serious concerns about how the 2008 Gozo rape case was handled. The party stated that the way the case was managed brings up questions about the legal system and how victims are protected.

ADPD's comments add to the ongoing public discussion about transparency and accountability in cases involving sexual assault. This follows earlier reports about a construction company whose owners were linked to the case, and calls from Labour MP Rosianne Cutajar for a more transparent sex offenders register.
