VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – A 53-year-old Nigerian man was arrested late Wednesday at Malta International Airport after allegedly smuggling around one kilogram of suspected high-purity cocaine in his body.

The arrest followed a joint operation by the Malta Police Force, Customs officials, and Detention Services. Authorities flagged the man during routine checks upon his arrival on a flight from Brussels.

Further investigation led to an x-ray examination, which revealed a large number of capsules hidden in his digestive system.

He was promptly transferred to Mater Dei Hospital, where medical staff confirmed he had ingested about 100 capsules filled with suspected cocaine.

According to law enforcement, the estimated street value of the drugs is approximately €300,000.

The man remains in custody as further investigations are underway. Authorities have not yet disclosed his identity, and legal proceedings are expected to follow.

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – Malta, Government plans Euthanasia Bill
Prime Minister Robert Abela has confirmed that the government will introduce a bill on voluntary assisted euthanasia—but only after carefully reviewing the large number of public submissions received during a two-month consultation period. The consultation focused on allowing euthanasia for terminally ill patients with less than six months to live. Abela said the government would not rush legislation. “Publishing a bill tomorrow would mean ignoring the submissions. That would be a disservice,” he told reporters.

RABAT (MOROCCO) (ITALPRESS) – Guatemala considers the autonomy initiative proposed by Morocco in 2007 “the only serious, credible, and realistic basis for reaching a definitive agreement” on the issue of Western Sahara.

This was stated today by Guatemalan Foreign Minister Carlos Ramiro Martinez Alvarado, following a meeting in Rabat with Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita.
“The Moroccan initiative represents the only foundation for a lasting, pragmatic, and mutually acceptable political solution, in full respect of the territorial integrity and national sovereignty of the Kingdom,” said Martinez Alvarado during a press briefing.

The head of Guatemalan diplomacy also reiterated his country’s “full and total” support for Morocco’s efforts to end what he described as an “artificial conflict.”
During the meeting, the two countries reaffirmed their shared commitment to defending the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Guatemala was the first Latin American country to open a General Consulate in Dakhla, in the territory of the Sahara, in December 2022.

LIVERPOOL (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – “He was the essence of what a Liverpool player should be.” Arne Slot, the Reds’ manager, is still in shock over the death of Diogo Jota, who was killed in a car crash in Spain. “He was someone who didn’t seek popularity, but found it anyway. Not a friend to two people, but a friend to everyone. Someone who made people feel good just by being with them. Someone who cared deeply about his family. A unique human being,” Slot added, speaking of a “sense of total shock” at the club. The Dutch manager also recalled Jota’s recent wedding, which took place a few weeks ago: “In many ways, it had been a dream summer for Diogo and his family, which makes it all the more heartbreaking.”

ROME (ITALPRESS) – “I want to play even more. People have been close to me, starting with my wife and my children. Knowing that I have my family behind me was the reason that pushed me to go on. I want to see my children in the stadium cheering after one of my goals. I signed for Monaco and I’m happy, I forget the past and all the things that have happened. The important thing is to look at the present, that’s all that matters”. This was said by Monaco‘s new midfielder, Paul Pogba, during the presentation press conference: “It’s the wish of every French football player to represent the France national team, but there are stages. Today I’m at stage one: coming back and performing well. There are spots to be won and you have to earn them because it’s a very, very good group, a great team,” he added.

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – The government will table a new Bill in parliament creating a legal framework to regulate the civil liability of public officials and entities, Prime Minister Robert Abela announced.

The legislation aims to shield public servants from personal liability for actions taken in the exercise of their duties, unless criminal intent or gross negligence is proven.

Abela said the law addresses a gap in the legal system, which he argued is causing hesitation and delays in public decision-making due to fear of litigation. “We want to give officials peace of mind to carry out their work effectively,” he said.

Under the Bill, the state will assume civil liability and cover damages or legal costs ordered by a court or tribunal, including in precautionary acts such as sequestration, until a final ruling is made.

Abela said public workers had repeatedly raised concerns about being personally targeted to hinder government operations.

The court will assess whether the act in question was carried out as part of a public function. If so, the state will intervene in proceedings and provide financial guarantees where necessary.

If the court later finds gross negligence or malicious criminal intent, the State can recover any payments made. The Bill applies to all public officials, including members of the police, armed forces, and constitutional bodies.

The government aims to pass the Bill before Parliament’s summer recess.
