LIDL clothing to be sent back to Italy due to high demand

Nov 18 2020 Share

Insider sources have reported that LIDL will be recalling their apparel brand from all Maltese stores to send them back to Italy.

This mass recall across the country is reportedly due to a high demand in Italy so the products are expected to be sent soon.

With previous reports revealing that the shoes have sold online for over $6,700, the local recall and increased demand could only ramp up the prices.

Priest jailed for three years after sexually abusing 13-year-old

Nov 18 2020 Share

A former Burmarrad parish priest was sentenced to 3 years in prison after abusing a 13-year-old boy who had shown interest in becoming a priest. 

Now close to 50 years old, Fr. Donald Bellizzi was found to engage in non-consensual sexual activities such as oral sex and lasted for more than three years. 

The boy told his parents of the abuse when he opened up about his attraction to men, which he said affected his sexual orientation during the years he would attend vocation meetings and live-ins. 

The priests name will be listed on the paedophile’s register.
