Briton fined €3,000, has license suspended after illegal car importation

This morning David Christopher Street, 52 from the UK, was fined €3,000 and had his driving license suspended for 12 months by Magistrate Josette Demicoli.

On June 18 while patrolling the Malta International Airport Parking Area, police noticed a car which looked suspicious.

Investigations revealed that the Maltese number plates belonged to a different make of vehicle. Police arrested Street when he was identified as the owner of the  vehicle, a Peugeot 406.

It was later discovered that Street did not have the legal documents to import the car to Malta and that the car was not insured.

Assisted by his attorney Stefano Filletti, the Briton pleaded guilty and this morning he was fined the €3,000 and had his driving license suspended. The court also issued an order to confiscate the car. 

Inspector Silvio Magro prosecuted.
