Infrastructure Minister Ian Borg (inset) has shrugged off action on his aide Jesmond Zammit, who was stopped by police illegally trapping birds last March
Infrastructure Minister Ian Borg said that he will not be taking any action against his advisor Jesmond Zammit, who was caught by police trapping illegally.
Zammit was detained in a Siġġiewi field by police on suspicions of illegal bird trapping on 26 March, according to a report by The Shift.
Transport Minister Ian Borg said he does not plan to take action against his advisor Jesmond Zammit, who was caught trapping out-of-season by the police.
A spokesperson for CABS told
Times of Malta that members of the committee had observed a person trapping in a field in the vicinity of Għar Lapsi, where nets had been set out and a number of live decoy finches were on site.
Upon their arrival, the police had apprehended a man who was filmed handling nets and live finches, who later transpired to be Zammit.

Questioned by journalists about the incident on Friday, Borg initially said he had seen the footage and that it looked like Zammit was in it, but later walked back on his original statement, saying the footage was not clear enough to determine.
