A man today was fined €5,000 after he threatened two police inspectors after a court sitting.
Stefano Muscat, 33, was accused of making verbal threats at police inspectors Joseph Busuttil and John Spiteri as he was leaving the courtroom following a sitting in another case.
Magistrate Joe Mifsud found the man guilty of insulting or threatening the two police officers while they were carrying out their duties.
The court said it would not permit such behaviour. It is in the public interest that it protects them and allows them to carry out their work without fear or threats, said the magistrate.
A protection order was also imposed in favour of the two inspectors.
