Anthony Collins
Anthony Collins is a legal expert who served as Advocate General at the EU's Court of Justice, where he provided legal opinions on cases involving EU law. He recently gained attention for his stance on Malta's golden passport scheme, arguing that the European Commission had not proven the need for a 'genuine link' between individuals and the country for lawful citizenship, which contrasts with the court's subsequent ruling declaring the scheme contrary to EU law.
