The Malta Football Association has decided to remove the initial suspension given to Hamrun Spartans player Gianluca Calabretta who has been granted a conditional exemption order from any disciplinary action.

The association also said it will issue further charges against Elton Borg and Julian Friggieri - two former Hamrun Spartans officials, the club, and its former captain Roderick Fenech. They are being charged with attempted match fixing.

The association's prosecutor withdrew all accusations that were initially issued against Mr Calabretta and recommended the granting of the exemption order because investigations showed that he was not involved in the match fixing attempts.

The MFA said Mr Calabretta’s conditional exemption order was being given for his collaboration with the association. He may start taking part in all football activities with immediate effect, the MFA said.
