Three teenage boys who tried to break into Judge Giovanni Bonello’s house for fun were today placed on probation for three years.
Two 16-year-olds and a 15-year-old were found guilty by a court of attempting to break into the judge’s home in Old Bakery Street Valletta. Mr Justice Bonello currently lives abroad. In 2004 priceless paintings were stolen from the residence and later recovered.
One of the boys testified that they wanted to do something daring and decided to break into the house but had not intended to steal anything.
