The Court of Appeal reaffirmed the conviction of Heathcliff Farrugia, who was found guilty of disclosing sensitive information to casino mogul and murder suspect, Yorgen Fenech
Earlier this week, the Court of Criminal Appeal in Malta reaffirmed a conviction imposed against Heathcliff Farrugia, the former chief executive of the gambling regulator in the country, the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). The announcement comes after the executive was found guilty earlier this year of leaking confidential information to Yorgen Fenech, a casino owner and one of the richest men in Malta.
While Farrugia attempted to appeal the sentence, that appeal was dismissed after a decision on Tuesday this week by Justice Neville Camilleri. Justice Camilleri rejected the appeal of the former MGA executive and reaffirmed that the lower court’s ruling was correct. This effectively means that Farrugia’s three-year suspended sentence was confirmed.
