Dr. Alfredo Naudi served as Crown Advocate from 1895 to 1905, a role that, at the time, was the equivalent of today's Attorney General. His tenure was marked by significant involvement in the legal and political landscape of Malta during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Legal and Political Influence
Naudi's position placed him at the heart of Malta's legal system, advising the government on legal matters and representing the Crown in legal proceedings. His era was one of political turbulence, with nationalist movements gaining momentum. Notably, Naudi was known for his public support of the government's efforts to maintain order during periods of political unrest. For instance, he praised the government's initiatives to curb political agitation, reflecting his alignment with the colonial administration's policies
Legacy
After Naudi's departure in 1905, the role of Crown Advocate continued to evolve, eventually becoming the Attorney General's office as we know it today. His contributions laid foundational stones for the development of Malta's legal framework during a critical period of its history.
