What is disturbing is that this person was only caught after the police received a tip. It is so obvious that some of these guests of ours are living way beyond the means they would have us believe they have.

Fights among Africans over drug turf are becoming more and more common. But they are rarely reported. It is only a matter of time before we have gang wars to spice up our mundane lives. That is what happened in other countries, Malta is no exception.
