By means of a decree of the 25th August, 2021, in the records of the protest number 207/2021, in the names Progress Press Company Limited vs Kasco Engineering Company Limited, the First Hall of the Civil Court ordered the following publication for the purpose of effecting service in terms of Article 187(3) et sequitur of Cap. 12 on the respondent Keith Schembri.

In the First Hall of the Civil Court

To Kasco Engineering Company Limited

Keith Schembri (ID 331975M) of Villa Abelia, Santa Maria Gardens, Triq iż-Żebbuġ, Santa Maria Estate, Mellieħa MLH 2720

Alfio Schembri

Malcolm Scerri

Judicial Protest of Progress Press Company Limited (C307).

Submits with respect:

That on the 2nd June, 2008, Progress Press Company Limited ('Progress Press') concluded an agreement with Kasco Technical Services Ltd, today known as Kasco Engineering Company Limited (C34257), ('Kasco Engineering'), in which the three other respondents, Keith Schembri, Alfio Schembri and Malcolm Scerri were, and still are, directors, and this for the purchase and acquisition of machinery and equipment supplied by Global Wed Systems and this towards the agreed price of US$13,588,454.00 which price was to be paid by Progress Press to Kasco Engineering in a number of installments as indicated in the said agreement.

That the signatories to the said agreement were Vincent Buhagiar and Adrian Hillman on behalf of Progress Press who at that time held respectively the position of Chairman and Managing Director of the same Progress Press while Malcolm Scerri and Keith Schembri signed in the name and on behalf of Kasco Engineering;

That this equipment and machinery has been duly delivered and installed at the Progress Press operating site in Mrieħel and the entire price had been duly paid by Progress Press to Kasco Engineering in accordance with the terms and conditions agreed in the said agreement;

That before the agreement with Kasco Engineering was signed, Progress Press had, during 2007, continued a process in order to identify the best equipment and machinery on the market that would meet its commercial and technical requirements at that time, also taking into account the fact that the same Progress Press intended to make a substantial investment in order to develop new offices and commercial site in Mrieħel as it eventually actually did;

This process led to the evaluation of three offers made by third parties, including the one made by Kasco Engineering, during the meeting of the Progress Press board of directors held on the 29th August, 2007, and at which meeting Vincent Buhagiar and Adrian Hillman guided the same board with regard to the three bids until finally all board members (including the respondents themselves) took the decision to accept Kasco Engineering's offer;

That recently and especially since 20th March, 2021, Progress Press has been aware of various investigations and proceedings of a criminal nature which have been instituted against a number of other persons and entities, amongst them against Keith Schembri, Alfio Schembri and Malcolm Scerri;

From the said investigations carried out and those brought forward so far, the indicated price of US$13,588,454.00 for the purchase and acquisition of the said equipment and machinery included a portion of about US$5,000,000.00 which sum had been increased in an entirely abusive, illicit and misleading manner with the consequence that the said amount of about US$5,000,000.00 paid by Progress Press as part of the agreed price for the machinery and equipment indicated was distributed amongst them, and namely amongst Keith Schembri, Malcolm Scerri and Alfio Schembri together with Vincent Buhagiar and Adrian Hillman and with the sole aim of making a personal but illicit and deceptive gain at the expense of none other than Progress Press;

That according to the law and especially article 1051A of the Civil Code (Cap. 16 of the Laws of Malta) the actions of the respondents, or of any one of them, constitutes an act of corruption as it is evident that they offered and effectively, directly or indirectly bribed and gave an undue advantage to the said officers of Progress Press with the ultimate aim of making illicit profits and gains at the expense of and to the considerable detriment of Progress Press;

That consequently Progress Press suffered serious damages as a result of corruption committed by the respondents or any of them and accordingly it is entitled according to law to take action against them in order to obtain compensation for the damage caused to it by the act of corruption;

In addition, it is evident that in the circumstances as described above, the consent of Progress Press for the purchase and acquisition of the equipment and machinery as reflected in the agreement signed with Kasco Engineering on the 2nd June, 2008, was fraudulently obtained by Kasco Engineering and/or its executives and Progress Press reserves all right of action for the rescission of the said agreement, for the full refund of the price paid and any further damages which may result;

That in the light of the premise, Progress Press is forced to protect its interests and is holding the same respondents responsible for all the losses and damages suffered as a result of their corrupt actions.

Accordingly, the applicant company Progress Press Company Limited, whilst formally bringing the aforementioned to the attention of the respondents, it is for all purpose and effects of the law, placing them in dolo, mora and culpa and solicits them to give a full account of the profits and personal gain which they have corruptly received or benefitted from in an illicit, abusive and illegal manner in connection with the acquisition of the aforesaid machinery and at the same time come forward for the liquidation and payment of consequential damages caused by them and in default, it hereby notifies them that further proceedings will be taken against them in accordance to law without further notice.
