@ ms g hoare, I am not ashamed to say that i am his relation, at the end of the day i know scott better than you, we are all shocked by what he has done as he hasnt done anything this stupid before, WE KNOW HIM AND YOU DONT,it must be easy to sit there and comment on someone you dont even know from 2 sentences in an article,so until they write more and print out the facts about what happened i think you should keep your opinions to yourself.

Well said Salvino. I completley agree with you these people should not be allowed to ruin our childrens lives and cause such pain and emotional turmoil to families. I am a brit living in Malta I have every strong views on this problem people bringing drugs into a country should suffer the death penalty if proved guilty.

Treat him like he would be treated in any other country, (except UK of course where one can get away with anything these days) Send a firm message out to the rest of the world Malta will NOT tolerate these people !!!!!

You could say he may have dropped a bit of a clanger - Bell, clanger - oh never mind just joking.
On a more serious side, I really cannot understand how anyone could be stupid enough to knowingly try and bring large quantities of illegal drugs through such a heavily inspected funnel such as an airport.
