Minister for the Environment, Climate Change and Planning Aaron Farrugia announced a brand new multi-million euro project for Romeo Romano Garden in St. Venera. Speaking at a press conference, the Minister announced how the locality will be given a new green area which they can enjoy together with their families. The garden itself will consist of a playground for the public to freely enjoy.

In the second phase of the project, the Minister announced that a historical building, which is currently abandoned, will be restored and will serve as a kitchen garden. The Minister seeks to elevate the locality’s air quality due to the highly urbanised spaces and give back to the community a fresh nature space.

70-year-old Alexander Giacomotto, who in 2014 was found guilty of corrupting minors, has received a confirmed jail sentence of six years. Giacomotto has been found guilty of defiling the boy on various occasions at his house, in his car and at school. Taking place between 1992 and 1996, the boy spoke up in 2005 when admitting to his girlfriend. Giacomotto was charged in 2007 after he filed a report the following year.

The victim was 12 years old and defilement continued until he was 16 years old. The boy was also given money following the defilement, with Giacomotto convincing the boy’s parents to send him to private lessons at his home. After appealing the sentence, Giacomotto’s appeal was denied and the sentence confirmed.
