Convicted murderer Erin Tanti, his partner Marisa Gallo and St James Hospital owner Josie Muscat have been charged with carrying out unauthorised medically assisted procreation after Tanti impregnated his partner while in prison. Tanti, 34, was also charged with committing the offence in November 2024 while serving a prison sentence. Investigators believe a prison doctor helped Tanti get his semen out of the facility and transport it to a clinic where Muscat performed an insemination procedure on Tanti's 41-year-old partner, Gallo. Most of the calls took place in 2024, in the lead-up to the medical procedure. During the calls, two medical specialists were mentioned, Dr Christopher Cremona, the prison doctor, and Maria Dolores Spiteri, the prison nurse.
