An Italian man resident in Germany admitted in court today to having brought liquid ecstasy to Malta and shared it with a friend
The court was told that the Italian and a Maltese man who still has to be arraigned, were found suffering a drug overdose in a nightclub yesterday.
He had since recovered, while the other man was still in hospital.
Police sources said the drug was bought in Germany and the Italian, who is on holiday, claimed that he imported it for personal use and did not know how powerful it was.
Magistrate Myriam Hayman after noting the early admission and the fact that the drug was for personal use, imposed a suspended one-year jail term.
