Updated: Fun in the sun for German police

The Home Affairs Ministry has requested an explanation from the Police Commissioner after photos were published online showing women in bikini sunbathing on two rigid-hulled inflatable boats belonging to the force. A police spokesman said the people on the boat were part of a group of German police who are in Malta on an “attachment programme”. In a statement this evening the ministry said even though he was informed that the people in the photo were German police on an exchange visit, he still felt the photo was not beneficial to the force and requested an explanation. The Police Commissioner told timesofmalta.com he is investigating and will decide what action to take.
