Good follow-up Mario.

This person will not take long to be in breach of the probation period , seeing what record she has. There is no room for repeated offenders to be allowed public access, neither in Scotland nor in Gozo, unless locked up to learn a lesson.

Seems like it Mr Brincat! I propose a new law should be introduced, whereas a foreigner living here will be deported after committing his/her second crime, no matter what country he/she came from, it being african, european or whatever.

Well spotted it seems! It certainly is the same name and similar unacceptable violent conduct. She should have been dealt with more severely and given a one way ticket home.

@P Attard "I propose a new law should be introduced, whereas a foreigner living here will be deported after committing his/her second crime, no matter what country he/she came from, it being african, european or whatever. " - Malta could only do that by leaving the EU, with regard to EU citizens
