The 32-year-old was taken to court under court-ordered additional security and was charged with 13 counts including the possession of cocaine in circumstances beyond personal use, dangerous driving, attempting to flee the police and breaking court conditions.
On July 22nd, the Malta Police Force had received word that Azzopardi was involved in an activity related to drug trafficking. After attempting to escape the police by reversing, driving to the opposite side, colliding with another vehicle and throwing an unknown substance outside his car, the police found what was suspected to be 130 grams of cocaine.
Azzopardi was granted bail on a deposit of €8,500 and a personal guarantee of €12,500 with the condition of having to sign at a police station and not exit his house between 8pm and 6am.

In a new post uploaded by the government’s parliamentary secretary for reforms and equality, teachers were urged to learn students’s preferred gender pronouns as the new school term begins.
The post also asked teachers to stop any homophobic or bigoted slurs or actions and to create a sense of security in a classroom to give a safe space for self-expression.
Meanwhile, students were urged to respect other pupils’ pace of learning and understand that not everyone does so in the same way.
The students were also urged to show mutual respect to everyone around us – that the cleaners are just as important as the school principal.
‘Diversity opens the door for cultural education. Learning doesn’t only come from books, but from those around us as well’ the post said.
