Taxi driver Fabian Mifsud, 25, was today fined €1,000 after a court found him guilty of having assaulted a German diplomat's wife after she allegedly leant against his car in Paceville.

The court rejected his claims that she had slightly damaged the vehicle.

Another taxi driver involved in the incident, Emanuel Tabone, 58, was fined €500.

The court ruled that the woman acted in self-defence when she hit Mifsud between the legs.
