A 22-year-old DJ was yesterday jailed for two years and fined €3,000 after he admitted to being in possession of about 50 ecstasy pills in a nightclub.

Brandon Bartolo was caught with the drugs in St Paul’s Bay on April 13.

Magistrate Edwina Grima recommended the prison director to ensure that Mr Bartolo gets the necessary help.
