A 19-year-old man was denied bail on Sunday after being found in possession of 93 grams of cannabis.

The drugs were not going to be for personal use, the court was told.

In view of Damien Attard’s prior convictions and of the fact that civilian witnesses were still to testify, the court did not grant bail.

Meanwhile, in a separate case, a Croatian man was ordered to pay a fine of €530 after pleading guilty to possession of nine grams of cannabis.

Defence lawyer Simon Micallef Stafrace did not contest the arrest on behalf of his client, Jurica Kalina.

In view of his admission of guilt, the court, presided by magistrate Donatella Frendo Dimech ordered the 33-year-old man to pay a fine.
