Couple arrested for smoking a joint in a hotel room; Roberta Metsola critiques government

Feb 15 2021

Maltese MEP and Vice President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola has lashed out at the government after a couple was arrested for smoking cannabis in a hotel room during Valentine’s Weekend.

The police entered the St. Julian’s hotel room, where they arrested a 21-year-old Hamrun resident and a 19-year-old from Zabbar for possession of cannabis.

Are we really still charging teenagers for smoking a joint in a hotel room? If only we went after the corrupt with the same fervour, our country might just move forward. #EndImpunity #Malta https://t.co/tgBJ0Sc08v

Metsola called for the same fervour approach towards corrupt individuals rather than teenagers who may have these cases “hanging over them for the best part of their formative years.”
