Bail denied for man charged with aggravated possession of cocaine and heroin

Jason Zammit, 47, from Pietà was denied bail on Saturday after he was charged with aggravated possession of cocaine and heroin.

Zammit was arrested after cocaine, heroin and methadone and €30,000 in cash were found by police. The man was arrested at his residence, where police found he prepared cocaine and heroin ‘baggies’ from his home. Also found in the house were 100g of cocaine, 60g of heroin, and 500ml of methadone.

Magistrate Noel Bartolo denied bail at this stage, due to the fact that a witness is still to testify.

The prosecution was led by Inspector Jonathan Pace and lawyer Matthew Xuereb appeared for Zammit.
