Omar Adam, a Somali man residing in Ħaż Żabbar, has been jailed on human trafficking charges, after admitting to assisting migrants in leaving Malta illegally.
He was accused of having assisted people in entering or leaving Malta illegally, for money. He was also charged with making a false declaration in a public document and filing a false report with the police.
Adam was charged before magistrate Ian Farrugia on Tuesday by police Inspector Karl Roberts, who told the court that the police had acted on a tip off and arrested the man. Adam pleaded guilty upon being arraigned.
