Mintoff said that if the directors refused the ‘offer,’ he would remove the limited liability of the banks’ shareholders, extending it beyond the bank’s share capital to their personal assets, and that he would withdraw the four million pounds in Government funds which were deposited at the bank.

Mintoff never held a gun to anybody’s head and it was unconstitutional from the start for him to threaten the shareholders claiming he could have removed the limited liability of the National Bank,” the former Nationalist MP said.
