90 day prison sentence for Bay Street director

A director of Baystreet and Legend Real Estate Ltd has been sentenced to three months imprisonment for ordering his employees to break into the premises of one of the Baystreet concessionaires.

George Muscat was condemned by Magistrate Silvio Meli on 3 July for ordering his employees to break into the premises known as ‘Il-Grokk,’ run by Rita Anne Bigeni and a former popular radio presenter Ray Bajada.

In his decision Meli said there were pending disputes between the two parties, even in court that had not been resolved.

Baystreet directors Christopher Grech and Paul Camilleri were acquitted of the same charges.

Contacted and asked to comment on the court decision Muscat preferred to say nothing.

It is not known whether Muscat has appealed.
