Man offers sex with wife for payment; shows up with gun when refused

Jul 29 2021

A 49-year-old man from Birżebbuġa has been put on a 3-year probation period after being found guilty for stealing €500 from a shop in St. Venera in December 2018.

He was taken to court on counts of aggravated theft, keeping the victim hostage, carrying an unlicensed weapon and damaging third-party properties.

Upon visiting the store, the man proposed a sexual encounter with his wife to the shop owner instead of payment. The owner declined the offer and asked the man to leave, after which he eventually returned with the unlicensed firearm, demanding that the owner give him €500 from the cash register.

The man’s probation officer has reported that he has since found a job and plans on opening his own business in the future. He was since fined with €700 for carrying the firearm and was ordered to refund the money he stole.
