- Sun 19-Aug-2012, 01:05What the hell kind of justice system does Malta have? How in the name of all that's holy can four men who violently sexually assault a tourist get a suspended sentence? We have already seen that this Government doesn't give a damn about the heritage or environment in Malta as they seem quite happy to sell it off for a price. Now we find that they don't give a damn about women either. You would think that any Government worth its salt would do everything in its power to protect female tourists but this bunch seem determined to support sexual assault!
