Richard Spiteri, also known as Raquela, has been jailed after flagrantly breaching three previous suspended jail terms and being caught red-handed with cocaine.
Magistrate Marseann Farrugia yesterday highlighted the fact that Mr Spiteri, a convicted prostitute, had been given various chances to reform after being found guilty on theft and drug-related charges. Mr Spiteri yesterday admitted to the charge of cocaine possession.
After taking into consideration the circumstances of the case, the magistrate brought into force the three previous jail terms, which means Mr Spiteri will be in prison for 13 months.
