Bail For Two Teens Who Assaulted Courier With Hammer

Bail For Two Teens Who Assaulted Courier With Hammer
Aug 12 2023 Share

Two 16-year-olds have been granted bail while awaiting sentencing after confessing to assaulting a food courier with a hammer, seizing his motorbike and cellphone. 

The incident transpired as the victim delivered an order near the Marsaxlokk football ground, prompting him to report the assault and robbery at the Birżebbuġa police station.

Apparently dissatisfied with the food, the recipients purportedly initiated an altercation with the courier. Allegedly, one of the defendants punched him, while the other employed a hammer, resulting in damage to the courier’s teeth. 

Subsequently, the assailants fled on the stolen motorbike, taking the victim’s phone.

The teenagers’ identity was uncovered through their booking records. Initially claiming homelessness, one teenager, accompanied by his mother and legal counsel, later confessed during interrogation. 

He guided the police to an abandoned alleyway residence where the stolen bike was concealed, already repainted to obfuscate evidence.

The prosecution posited that the premeditated act was evident due to the bike’s alteration. Both teens admitted guilt to multiple charges, including theft, wrongful detainment, assault, and attempted bodily harm. They were also accused of concealing evidence and trespassing.

While one defendant’s counsel suggested supervision, the other’s attorney cited cooperation and youthful misjudgment, advocating for probation. Pending their sentencing next week, they were released on bail, obligated to sign a bail register biweekly, secured by a €200 deposit and a €10,000 personal guarantee. To preserve their anonymity, the court imposed a name disclosure ban.

Malta Takes Center Stage in EU’s Remote Working Revolution

Aug 11 2023 Share

Malta has emerged as a formidable player in the European Union’s remote working landscape – clinching an enviable spot in the upper echelons of the remote working revolution, standing shoulder to shoulder with economic powerhouses like Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, and France. 

The winds of change are sweeping across the Maltese workforce, as a recent analysis by BNP Paribas Real Estate Ireland (BNPPRE) has revealed.

While Ireland may have claimed the top spot in the EU for the adoption of remote working, Malta has firmly established its presence as a trailblazer in the rapid shift from traditional office-based work to flexible, remote arrangements. The Netherlands may boast the highest percentage of its workforce engaged in remote work (over 50%), but it is Malta that has taken the lead in embracing the remote work phenomenon with remarkable alacrity.

A closer examination of Eurostat data brings Malta’s prowess into sharper focus. Malta ranks second in the EU when it comes to dedicating workspace to remote working, transcending the confines of the conventional workplace. This insightful analysis, conducted by BNP Paribas Real Estate, highlights Malta’s forward-looking approach to modernising work environments.

The COVID-19 pandemic acted as a catalyst for the remote working revolution, forcing organisations to embrace new ways of conducting business. The international analysis emphasises that the shift to remote work is not just advantageous for employees, but also benefits employers by reducing the need for certain physical office spaces and resources.
