An Italian man was jailed for 25 months after admitting to having stolen €4,000 from his workplace, Country Style, in Birzebbuga.
The court heard how he left work and left the windows open. On August 3 at 3.30am, after everyone had left the shop, he went in through the window and stole all the cash he could get his hands on.
Gian Nicola Cursoli, 42, told the court he was sorry for what he had done. The court heard how he used the money to pay rent for his Birzebbuga apartment. He pleaded guilty to the charges brought against him before Magistrate Consuelo Scerri Herrera and was jailed for 25 months.
Police Inspector Kurt Zahra prosecuted while lawyer Mark Busuttil appeared for the man.
