Following several days of investigations and observations by Malta’s anti-drug police squad, a 29-year-old Italian man was arrested over the possession of a large amount of drugs.
The man, resident of San Pawl il-Bahar, was approached by police on Wednesday. The police found 15kg of cannabis and 1kg of cocaine in his garage, amounting to a total value of €450,000. Around €250,000 in cash was also discovered.
Just days after parliament approved legalisation for the personal use of cannabis, drug trafficking will still remain illegal under the new rules. Magistrate Caroline Farrugia Frendo is overseeing the inquiry.
