Malta: Man guilty of cultivating cannabis jailed 12 years
---
On Wednesday, Anthony Seychell was handed a 12 year imprisonment
sentence after being found guilty of cultivating and possessing cannabis.
Seychell, 47, of Zejtun was also fined €25,000 after jurors unanimously
found him guilty of having cultivated cannabis at his residence where
over a 100 cannabis plants had been found.
At first the man had tried to justify the plants by saying that he
needed the cannabis because of back pains and was pleading not guilty.
He however admitted the charges later on in the trial.
The trial was presided by Mr Justice Joseph Galea Debono.
