Home Affairs Minister Glenn Bedingfield has announced an imminent change to the law which would make possessing or using a phone in Malta’s prison a criminal offence.“The time has come to go from words to actions,” Bedingfield said in a video posted on social media this morning. “I just discovered that the use and possession of a mobile phone in the Kordin prison is not considered a crime. It breaks the prison’s procedure and regulations, but it’s not seen as a crime. And that to me is unacceptable.”Yesterday morning, news broke of three mobiles phones found inside Kordin. These devices were in the possession of convicted criminals Robert ‘Tal-Maksar’ Agius (who is serving a life sentence for supplying the bomb used in the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia), George ‘Iċ-Ċiniż’ Degiorgio (serving a 40-year prison sentence for his role in the murder of both Caruana Galizia and lawyer Carmel Chircop) and Sicilian Damiano Torrisi (serving five years for a hold-up of a Rabat store which left the shop-owner injured).
