The brothers’ names popped up in court during the compilation of evidence against David Gatt, a former police inspector who had allegedly masterminded the foiled heist of HSBC’s Qormi headquarters back in 2010. Gatt, a freemason who co-founded the breakaway Grand Lodge of Malta, was acquitted of all charges related to the bank robbery earlier this year. Police sources say Gatt is not implicated in the murder so far.
