The treasurer of King’s Own Band Club in Valletta was today given a 13 month jail term suspended for three years after he admitted to misappropriating €15,000.

Marvic Borg, 34, of Valletta pleaded guilty to taking the money from the club’s account, to which he had access.

He had been siphoning off cash between March last year and February.

Magistrate Doreen Clarke noted that the amount stolen could be more than €15,000.

He was given six months to repay the amount stolen back to the club.
