Jun 17 2023

A man who was wanted by the police has come forward, stating that neither he nor his lawyers were informed of a court sitting pertaining to his case.

Ryan Dimech, a self-employed truck driver, claimed to have only been made aware of the pending court case when a ‘wanted statement’ was issued by the police.

The situation unfolded when the police issued a wanted notice for Dimech on Friday, regarding the pending court case.

In response, Dimech took to Facebook and posted a photo of himself, vehemently denying any accusations of theft or harm against him or his country.

This morning, a recent update from the police indicated that the person in question, Dimech, is no longer wanted.

The police clarified that contrary to some media reports, the individual had initially been notified to appear in court. However, as he failed to attend the hearing, an arrest warrant was issued by the presiding magistrate.

After facing difficulties in locating him, the police resorted to issuing a notice in the media to expedite his identification and continue with the case, ensuring the interests of the victim are safeguarded.
