Gibraltar’s representation at the Labour Party Conference continued yesterday evening with the Gibraltar Reception hosted by the Chief Minister Fabian Picardo and featuring a keynote speech by the UK Minister for Europe and the Overseas Territories Stephen Doughty MP.
The partners of Hassans say they note, “with regret and dismay” what they describe as an “unwarranted attack” by Marlene Hassan Nahon of Together Gibraltar on partners of Hassans, Justine Picardo and Gemma Vazquez. The firm says that Ms Hassan Nahon’s attack “spuriously raises unfair and groundless conflict of interest issues” in relation to the award of development rights by Government to a client of the Firm.
The Government says it can confirm that all negotiations in respect of the premia and consideration for the grant of development rights over Bayside / St Anne’s plot and the Eastside plot were conducted “wholly and exclusively” between the Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, for the Government, and Mr Tuan Tran, Madam Huong and Mr Adrian Olivero for The TNG Global Foundation.
