Maximilian Ciantar was this afternoon fined €800 after he pleaded guilty to being in possession of heroin, committing a crime while under probation and relapsing.

Mr Ciantar, 21, of Marsa, the driver who served a jail term for running over twin girls in Attard was found in possession of heroin at Mater Dei Hospital last night.

He was caught by members of the Drugs Squad in Disneyland, where he was visiting his baby. He had been out of prison for a few days.

On January 17, Mr Ciantar was jailed for a month and fined €100 after a Magistrate found him guilty of having threatened journalists who were reporting a court case late last year.

He has also served a three month jail term after having been found driving in breach of a court order issued after the incident involving the twins.

It was agreed in court that he will pay €100 per month starting at the end of this month.
