Plans for an undersea casino in Malta are in jeopardy after the projects backer, The Cala Corporation, failed to provide serious proof of 'financial standing' according to the Malta’s tourism minister Francis Zammit Dimech, ATE online reported on Wednesday.

ATE online further reported Minister Zammit Dimech also accused the US-based company of not showing any evidence of due diligence or feasibility indicators. On the other hand, Cala Corporation said in November that the Maltese government had been 'dragging its feet' and 'taking its time in coming to a decision'.
