A former prisoner was sent back to prison today after having been convicted of assaulting a prison officer while serving his term.
Johann Sultana, 27 of Qormi, had been accused of assaulting Sergeant Major Francis Cassar in December 2004, causing him slight injuries. The incident took place after he was informed of disciplinary action following another incident.
The prisoner was also accused of resisting other officers. He was also convicted of breaking conditions set in four previous court decisions.
