The Times of Malta daily reported that five local men, one of whom is a arms dealer, were charged with breaching European Union sanctions against Libya.
Details reveal that the man, James Fenish, 41, used military rubber boats to drive mercenaries out of Libya without notifying the authorities.
According to the same newspaper, a boat registered in Malta was found in the Libyan port of Zouitina, about 150 km south of Benghazi, last August, which raised doubts about its use to smuggle people into and out of the country, prompting the Libyan authorities to open an investigation.
At that time, Libyan news websites incorrectly reported that the boat belonged to the Maltese Armed Forces, while some sections of the Libyan press speculated that it could have been used to transport special forces or intelligence teams to the area.
Details published by the newspaper indicate that on Friday, the Maltese judiciary charged five Maltese, including Finish, with violating the penalties, as it is believed that they were managing that boat and other similar boats.
The Maltese prosecution says that the arms dealer contracted with the United Arab Emirates to carry out secret evictions and deportations in Libya, considering that this was done without the permission of the competent authorities.
The anti-terror unit official and police observer, George Cremona, said in a statement on Saturday that the investigation is also looking into the possibility of money laundering.
According to the police, the courts also issued a request to freeze assets linked to Vinesh.
The Maltese newspaper reports that the Maltese accused company Finish has previously dealt with the controversial private security firm, Blackwater.
