The trial on six kilos of cocaine that were found in a "trailor"

Postponed the deliberation of the jurors because they did not reach a decision

The jurors who entered to deliberate in the trial of Arnold Farrugia, 44 years old from Ħal-Luqa and resident of Ħaz-Zebbuġ, around 5.00 pm did not reach the verdict until 7.30 pm with the Judge suspending the deliberation and orders them to continue with the deliberation on Wednesday morning (this morning). The jurors had come to decide after a long address by Judge Laurence Quintano that between Monday and Tuesday he explained the procedures to the jurors for almost seven hours. It is not known if the jurors will reach a verdict on Tuesday evening, or if they will ask the Court to continue with their work on Wednesday, April 9.

All this after the defense and the Prosecution made their negotiations where they started from last Saturday and ended last Monday after noon.

Farrugia, who went on trial on Tuesday, April 1, is being charged with possession, association and importation of the drug cocaine. The drug was found in a trailer owned by the defendant. The "trailer" had arrived from Genoa in the summer of nine years ago. A total of six kilos of cocaine were found, with a street value of €500,000.

The case goes back to 25 July 2005. In his trial, Lawyer Arthur Azzopardi who is appearing for the accused together with Lawyer Edward Gatt, said that the accused was in no way involved in this case because he was never with the "trailer ” all the time. He reiterated that the accused had in fact arrived in Malta long before the "trailer" and therefore there is no connection between him and the discovery of the drugs.

On the other hand, Lawyer Lara Lanfranco who is leading the Prosecution, on behalf of the Attorney General said that the things in this case did not happen by chance. She claimed that a digital fingerprint of the accused was found on the drug package. She said that this was a professional operation and involved substantial money, and thanks to the useful work of the Maltese Police, the case was solved.

More acts of vandalism on vehicles in the Markets

Once again, residents of Swieqi found that their cars were the target of vandals that were carried out between Monday and Tuesday by unknown persons. This was not the first case of vandalism in this locality, with the residents and the Local Council appealing to the Government for more safety on the roads.

Among their appeals, the Local Council and the residents of Swieqi are stressing the need for Swieqi to have a Police Station. However, the Government seems to be continuing to ignore this request.

People who spoke to us and even sent photos of these latest acts of vandalism said that a locality that has around 10,000 residents should have a good security system, not only because it is close to places of entertainment, but also because it is home to many families and seniors who want to feel safe in their community.

An exhibition about the Holy Week called Pesah

The Maria Mater Gratiae Philharmonic Society of Żabbar will put on an exhibition about the Holy Week called Pesah which will open on Wednesday.

In this exhibition will be exposed the largest frame with colored semolina. Through this frame, the Maria Mater Gratiae Philharmonic Society is making an attempt to establish a national and international record in the category of the largest work of art made entirely of semolina.

In a news conference, which took place in the Club of the Society, more details about this framework were announced by the President of the Society Joe Saliba. Present for the news conference was the Parliamentary Secretary Stefan Buontempo.

The gigantic frame, made entirely of semolina by Mario Aquilina, shows a scene from Jesus' walk with the cross on his way to Golgotha. The painting is a representation of a painting from the Via Sagra by the Spanish artist Yzquierda, exhibited in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Peoria in Illinois, in Chicago, United States.

The figures worked in the square are bigger than real people and more than 120 different shades of color were used to make them. It is also calculated that this square has a weight of more than 200 kilograms in semolina and color.

figs for charity

For the third consecutive year a number of students of the Naxxar Secondary School are taking part in an activity in which they decorate Easter figs to later sell them for charitable purposes.

The activity consists of decorating around 200 figs provided by Golden Harvest by the students under the guidance of a confectioner from the same company.

The students of San Nikola College who are taking part from the 1st and 3rd year of Secondary and the ideas after the tenth are being left completely to their imagination.

After in the last two years this annual activity collected funds for Puttinu Cares and for the Malta Community Chest Fund, this year the teachers who took this initiative decided that the money collected will go to the Hospice, a movement that helps people sick with cancer and their relatives.

The figs will be sold next week at Daniels Shopping Complex in Hamrun by the students themselves.

Vassalli is brought back to life in a new play

Surely everyone remembers the recent play 'I Love You', which caused controversy in the country due to the nature of the subject it dealt with. Now, the same production company will be staging another play on the stage of the Maltese theatre. This time, in the center of the play none other than Mikiel Anton Vassalli.

Vassalli is considered to be one of the most controversial Maltese characters, and the production, which bears the name of 'Cittadin Vassalli' and is being staged by 'Stajon Teatru Malti' will bring this character back to life. a Maltese citizen who in his time was more or less controversial.

The play will be staged on the 11th, 12th and 13th of April at eight in the evening in the Manoel Theater and will deal with the life of Vassalli, as the man who fought against the currents when in Malta there was the occupation of the French. In the words of the director of the play, Mario Philip Azzopardi, that was the only time when the Maltese fought against their own freedom.

The play is not a history lesson, but uses fantasy to put in the picture the difficulties that Vassalli was facing... difficulties sometimes even with himself. During the play a reference is also made through a parallel between the political situation of that time and the political situation we are living in today.

Tickets for this play can be obtained from the Manoel theater website -
