Two Gozo Channel employees, Raymond Borg, known as ix-Xitan and George Zammit, were this morning convicted of fraud in the sale of ferry tickets, and handed a conditional discharge.  

The two men were arrested in September after being filmed on CCTV selling used Gozo Channel tickets.

The Gozo Ministry had reported the matter to the police and the two employees were suspended 

Back in 2013, Mr Borg, Gozo Minister Anton Refalo’s canvasser, had called the duty manager in Mġarr and advised him to turn back the ferry as the minister was waiting in Ċirkewwa. Mr Borg, who had been off-duty, had been contacted by the minister.
