Kamra tal-Periti finds ’s claims on AP Valletta’s Bartolott Crypt works at St John's Cathedral completely unfounded.
After more than a year of proceedings, the Kamra tal-Periti has cleared AP Valletta Architects Perit Danica Cachia Mifsud and Perit Konrad Buhagiar of every allegation arising from The Shift’s reporting on the Bartolott Crypt at St John’s Co-Cathedral.
The Council found no evidence to support claims that the Crypt floor had “caved in” or “collapsed”, or that “severe damage” had been caused to the historic fabric or burial chambers. It further found no causal link between AP Valletta’s design and the localised settlement observed.
The Council described The Shift’s reporting as “materially misguided”, while concluding that the architects had acted “with due diligence and transparency throughout.” The Council expressed its concern at the inaccuracy of the reporting.
AP Valletta were assisted by Dalli Advocates throughout the proceedings.
