A former lawyer for Pilatus Bank, Giglio came under controversy when, in a June 2022 interview, he criticized a whistleblower who had exposed a corruption scandal by Pilatus Bank in 2018;[5] this scandal had ultimately led to the resignation of Joseph Muscat, the then-prime minister of Malta.[6][7]
