Two women who were allegedly caught trying to smuggle drugs into prison on Monday appeared in court yesterday.
Alexandra Pace, 48 of Cospicua, pleaded guilty to trafficking heroin and cannabis resin. Her boyfriend, Silvio Buttigieg, also known as Iz-Zingla, is serving a 14-year jail term after admitting to drug trafficking.
The evidence will be heard before judgement is handed down. Helen Bugeja, 44, the wife of Alfred Bugeja, Il-Porporina, denied trafficking heroin, cannabis and ecstasy pills into the prison. Mr Bugeja is serving time on theft-related charges.
