A Romanian man was accused in court today of having threatened to reveal compromising pictures of his girlfriend if she stopped seeing him.

The court heard that Cristian Traian Dumitru, 37, resident in Rabat (Malta) had been going out with a married woman but she wanted to break off the relationship, because she is married.

The man threatened to reveal compromising pictures of her in sexual poses if she ended the relationship.

The woman reported the threats to the police.

The accused was granted bail against a personal guarantee of €5,000.

Daniela Mangion and Gabrielle Zammit were defence counsel.
