"Today is November 11, 2019, I am Joseph Mifsud, this is my voice ". Thus began the audio in English sent by e-mail tonight to the Adnkronos, in two different files , in which a voice that claims to be that of Joseph Mifsud, the professor at the center of Russiagate , issues a series of statements. "First of all I would like to say that I have absolutely no contact with friends and family and that I have not had contact with friends and family for several months. It has been almost two years now that the whole matter has exploded and been presented to the world media and on the world stage as if I had something to do with matters concerning countries or had I tried to infiltrate it, it is absolutely absurd, in programs, contacts or any other institution in the world, "says the voice. "I have been a man of relationships all my life and this is what I do well. I try to put one group in contact with another (but, ed.) No and I stress no, no one in any service, secret service or intelligence or none of this kind.that that person or person had ties to any institution. And this is extremely important, "says the voice in the audio.
The rumor that claims to be that of Joseph Mifsud continues: "I categorically denied and denied, as I did in the only two interventions [interviews] I did, one on La Repubblica and the other when I was called in the initial days, I think it was the first day when this thing came out of the Daily Telegraph in London I never had anything to do (with this story, ed.) I did nothing but, as I always did, put A in contact with B and B in contact with C for purely academic purposes ". "The idea is to have networks (of contacts, ed.). I've always been involved in think tanks, these think tanks are made to make one group talk to another about a certain topic. That's all. It's not my intent. never was, get information to pass from one side to the other. I've never done that because I've never been in possession of information useful to someone or someone else. "" All I knew were people who came from think tanks. In terms of the institutions I represented in the past, I can assure you both in the UK, in Italy and elsewhere I have always tried to ensure that young people have the opportunity to interact with each other and that is all. "
"Recently - continues the voice in the audio - I was reliably informed that Link Campus has been accused of implementing issues or being involved with (intelligence, ed) services. I categorically deny it and refuse to accept anything of this like. There was never anything like this. " "Of course - the voice in the audio continues - I have friends and acquaintances from the university, but it is important to say that these represent their interests. So it wasn't me trying to put them in contact with someone else. They never asked me and absolutely never ever tried to do it ". "Every time I met someone, and this has been demonstrated several times, I tried to keep that person or institution in mind, if there is it was a project or event in which that institution could actually play a part. This is what I tried to be. I have always considered myself, even for my Catholic faith, a bridge builder, a bridge between one and the other. Of course I have ideas about certain things and so if someone asks me how things will be, what I think will happen, obviously I have an opinion like every other human being in the world ", says the voice in the audio.
