Despite Legal Service being aware of Petite's new role,75 Petite was twice able to set out his views on some legal issues of tobacco legislation and meet with the Legal Service Director-General.75 This is notable because John Dalli claims that Barroso asked him to shelve the TPD in November 2011 because his [Barroso's] legal services were raising many legal issues, and that DG-SANCO officials advised him that the Legal Service only started raising concerns following Petite's involvement.70 Cash-for-access controversy: Dalligate or Barrosogate A further delay within the Commission occurred following the Dalligate controversy,76 which some MEPs relabelled Barrosogate.77 For details see TobaccoTactics.org.78 Petite, acting as proxy for snus manufacturer Swedish Match (which has a joint venture with PMI79), approached Day in March 2012 alleging that Dalli's business associate, Silvio Zammit, tried to solicit 60 million from Swedish Match in return for Dalli lifting the snus sales ban that was included in the 2001 TPD but was being reconsidered in the revision.80 After a written complaint by Swedish Match in May 2012, Day referred the matter for investigation to Giovanni Kessler, Director-General of the EU Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), and shared the complaint with Romero Requena, Barroso and Laitenberger.75 On 15 October 2012, OLAF finalised its investigation and forwarded its conclusions to Day.75 The following day and, crucially, days before the launch of the Commission's ISC, Barroso forced Dalli to resign, with the Commission's press statement stating that OLAF found that Zammit had approached Swedish Match using his contacts with Dalli and sought to gain financial advantages in exchange for influence over a possible future legislative proposal on snus.81 The Commission's press statement also noted there was no conclusive evidence of Dalli's direct participation, and no transaction was concluded between the company and the entrepreneur [Zammit] and no payment was made.81 It also emphasised that Dalli maintained his innocence69 ,82 and in June 2013 the Maltese police stated that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute him.83 ,84 At the time of writing, Zammit's trial is still ongoing
