Two Sicilian men have been jailed for eight months after pleading guilty to possession of cannabis with intent to traffic it.

Francesco Consalvo, 26, and Filippo Parasole, 29, both of Catania, pleaded guilty to being in possession of 70 grams of cannabis each which was enough to denote it was not for their personal use.

Magistrate Natasha Galea Sciberras sentenced the men to eight months behind bars and fined them €800 each.

Police Inspector Nicolai Sant prosecuted.
