Joseph Mifsud, Papadopolous's "professor" friend, seems to have disappeared.

Attempts by the Guardian to reach Mifsud on a London mobile phone and in Rome were not successful.

Asked if Mifsud had ever served as a diplomat for the country, Malta’s ministry of foreign affairs did not respond to requests for comment. The Malta Times reported that Mifsud once worked for the former foreign minister, Michael Frendo.

Today, there is no sign of the London Academy of Diplomacy on Middlesex Street in London. Phone numbers for the organisation that can be found online do not work and websites lead to error messages. A receptionist at the address said the organisation left the premises six months ago.

“Any stuff we get, we just send it back,” she said.

There are still some remaining traces of the academy, though, including a photograph of Mifsud and a senior representative of Russia’s embassy in London, a counsellor named Ernest Chernukhin, during a visit to the University of East Anglia. In the photograph, Mifsud is wearing a medal. The picture was taken on 10 July 2017.
