Italian court rules against Trump-linked Maltese academic
By RAPHAEL SATTER and CARLO PIOVANO

LONDON (AP) — No one seems to be able to find Joseph Mifsud, the Maltese academic at the center of the Russia investigation rocking Washington, but his legal woes are piling up on both sides of the Atlantic.
On Tuesday, an Italian court ordered the missing 58-year-old to hand back more than 49,000 euros ($56,700) in overpayments from the University Consortium of the Province of Agrigento, a Sicilian institution of higher learning where he once served as president.
But the 27-page judgment gave few clues as to Mifsud’s current whereabouts, which have been the subject of increasingly intense — and outlandish — speculation.
“Residence unknown,” is what the judgment gives as Mifsud’s address. It details fruitless attempts by Italian authorities to find Mifsud at an apartment in Rome, his former campus and in London.
Mifsud, a once-obscure Maltese academic who holds a doctorate in comparative education, shot to international prominence after he was identified as the mysterious professor who told Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos that the Russians had “dirt” on Hillary Clinton in the form of “thousands of emails” during an April 2016 meeting in London.
