Five Paceville bouncers were acquitted of injuring a Chilean student during a fight last January.

The men, Christopher Caruana, 29, from St Julian’s, Luciano Galea, 39, from Valletta, Anthony Portelli, 39, from St Pauls Bay, Stephen Fenech, 40 from Fgura and Emanuel Bonello, 46, from Attard were charged with slightly injuring Bastian Vasquez, breaching the peace and operating without licences.

Two - Mr Caruana and Mr Fenech were fined €500 for not having a bouncers’ licence.

Witnesses had identified the bouncers from an album. None could, however, be identified from CCTV footage.
