Expat Pilots arrested Malta
The CEO of European 2000 Airlines in Malta had three of his pilots arrested yesterday for working without the necessary work permits, which the CEO claimed to be processing.
Coincidently, this occured 5 days after they were supposed to be paid their wages, and one day after they contacted a Lawyer to act on their behalf regarding the unpaid wages.
Fortunately, the Lawyer was able to have the pilots (A Canadian, An Frenchmen, and an Australian) quickly released from custody, and he is now seeking criminal charges against the owner of European 2000 Airlines and the Chief Pilot (Another Frenchman) of the company.
The criminal charges include Immigration Fraud, Deciet and Slander against both the CEO and Chief Pilot.
