This is just the beginning !! Unfortunately, many non eastern european Countries, have already been invaded by eastern european criminals.

Could not agree more!!
These Eastern Europeans seem to come to Malta mainly for that. We already had some others this week with card Fraud!
I agree...they should be deported immediately!

I don,t think they went there for a meal .Most probably they were caught trying to get to the catamaran to return to Sicily.

I agree. Id rather have 10 Somalis willing to work and integrate in our country rather then 10 Roma with such mentality. On the other hand not all Romanians are Roma.

The magistrate should not have suspended their prison sentence. They are now free to roam around freely in other EU States without hindrance.

The EU is a border free union of member states which gives total freedom of movement to its citizens, therefore, deportation may only be effected on non EU Citizens.

@ Charles J Buttigieg

They got a suspended sentence because they have a clean conduct record with the local police. Back home they probably have a rap sheet that goes round the block.

They should now sue the government for breaching their human rights by preventing them from earing a living practising their profession.

Charles J. Buttigieg wrong. They could still be deported on the basis of national security.

@ Joe Zammit


Tell us how you can deport a national then. You were probably thinking of exile – but aren’t we civilised enough for that? I suggest you stick to your divorce debates, more entertaining for this audience.

@ Muscat

please stop talking nonsense and accusing the romanians that in their majority they are thiefs, rapers and so on. These are Roma gypsies with romanian nationality. AND THIS MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE. I can assure you that the vast majority of Romanians and hard- working, relieable people. So please stop being racist and think about what you write before you write it...............
