Jordan Azzopardi, known as El Chapo of Malta, has received a 7 month jail sentence after having been found guilty for beating up a man and leaving him naked out in the street.
The 32-year-old from Iklin was accused of threatening a man and a woman back in June 2015, causing the man grievous injuries.
He initially plead not guilty when he was arraigned in Court. However, after police presented their evidence and he was arraigned, he chose to plead guilty.
Magistrate Nadine Lia pointed out that Azzopardi did not express remorse for his behaviour, having never apologised to his victims and never compensated for the damage he caused. She noted how he pleaded guilty only when the case was almost finished after 33 sittings.
She pointed out how this was not a fight between friends but was ‘premeditated and planned on a person whom they sought out and beat up in the street in public view. In fact he ended up naked in the street.’
It was also revealed that there was an attempt to drag the victim into a car where the accused was for further beatings but the man managed to escape. The victim had to recover in hospital due to have broken bones and grievous injures.
