MaltaSong conspiracy?

A report by Ariadne Massa on the front page of today's Sunday Times quotes sources suggesting that a power cut in central Malta may have been timed to help Chiara win the MaltaSong contest. There were no denials forthcoming today from Enemalta corporation, Malta's monopoly supplier of electricity. From the report on the Sunday Times:

However, the overall result could take on a sour note after it was learnt that the Maltese Composers and Authors Union (UKAM) would be filing an official complaint with Maltasong because of a power cut in Mosta, Lija and Naxxar, among other localities.

According to sources, the electricity "conveniently" went out at the beginning of the festival and was back on just before Chiara's performance, putting Olivia at a disadvantage, especially since the gap between the two was just 566 votes.
