Sudanese man jailed for two years after admitting to trafficking drugs<\/p>\n

A Sudanese man has been jailed for two years after he admitted to trafficking drugs on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Police said in a statement that the 24-year-old man who lives in Birżebbuġa, was charged before Magistrate Monica Vella earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

He faced several charges related to drug trafficking after he was arrested in Ħamrun on Tuesday afternoon at around 5pm.<\/p>\n

The man was observed leaving an establishment in Triq San Vinċenz and arrested soon after.<\/p>\n

When he was searched, police found just shy of €3,000 in cash on his person, and a search in his residence resulted in a large plastic bag filled with 80 grams of synthetic drugs, nine packets of cannabis, two blocks of cannabis resin weighing 83 grams, and a significant number of small plastic bags ready to be used for trafficking.<\/p>\n

Magistrate Franco Agius also led an inquiry into the case.<\/p>\n

The man pleaded guilty to the charges against him and was handed an effective jail sentence of two years and a €1,500 fine.<\/p>\n
