A possible jail sentence could be handed out to a Spanish fruit and vegetable salesman after he admitted to attempting to carry weapons and ammunition onto a flight departing from Malta. The man, from Gijon, pleaded guilty to related charges after he was discovered to be carrying two flick knives, a hunting knife, pepper spray, a firearm and ammunition all in his luggage before he tried to board a flight at the Malta International Airport. The crime is punishable by anything from a fine up to a prison sentence, with the prosecuting inspector stating that the man admitted to making a mistake.
However, he apparently never guessed that these items were illegal in Malta. They were allegedly given to him as a gift, going on to say that he passed through several international airports without incident with the same items. His lawyer revealed that the man bought the knives for his work, with the court, having heard the admission, put the case off for sentencing next week.
