The alleged theft of €25,000 in cash and cheques from a construction company landed one of its employees behind bars on Wednesday. Inspector Shawn Pawney, prosecuting together with lawyer Tilden Tabone from the Office of the Attorney General, told the court that Nori had been employed as a construction worker with the company which operates in the construction, engineering and hospitality sectors. Lawyer Adriano Spiteri, defence counsel to Nori, requested bail. He stressed that Nori had a fixed address and that there was no risk of him tampering with evidence. A prosecution request for a protection order in favour of the company’s three directors was also upheld by the court.
