BOV issues statement on falsified document published by foreign media source

Bank of Valletta declares that a letter purportedly issued by the Bank as published over the past few days in a London-based media source and as referred to by at least one locally-oriented online blog is a fake and falsified document. This event carries a risk of damage to the Bank and to the Maltese jurisdiction. The Bank will be pursuing all remedies available to it at law to rectify the situation.

Bank of Valletta makes regular disclosures to the markets in line with its legal and regulatory obligations. It also maintains an active engagement with the media and encourages media houses to verify with it any information regarding the Bank and its activities.
