Repeated loitering
Between January and September this year, the police took 274 criminal actions against 55 persons for loitering in Gżira, Ta’ Xbiex, Msida and Marsa.
Answering a parliamentary question by Labour MP Adrian Vassallo, Home Affairs Minister Carm Mifsud Bonnici said that over the same period, 36 of those persons had been arraigned 255 times on the same charges. Several of the cases were still pending before the courts, but those cases that had been decided had been conditionally discharged or had been handed down suspended jail sentences.
