A group of men refused to hand over a donation of €1,200 to L-Istrina yesterday when they were not given a large format cheque to present on stage.

The men became aggressive when they were told that large format cheques were only made available when donations exceeded €2,000. The policy had been in place for years.

Some of those involved insulted and threatened officials in the reception area of the Mediterranean Conference Centre until the police were called and escorted them out.

The men said they were present the money to somebody else.
