Alfred Bugeja, known as il-Porporina, was today jailed for five years and five months after admitting to committing a hold up on a 65-year-old woman in Valletta at 11 a.m. yesterday.
He also admitted to slightly injuring the woman, stealing an Austin Mini and breaching the conditions of three previous releases.
Mr Bugeja preferred not to be represented by a lawyer “because of the hassle and expenses”.
