Two men have been denied bail on charges of setting a car on fire last week, as the court heard suggestions that an unidentified third man may have been the mastermind.
Truck driver 24-year-old Nurton Borg, from Gzira represented by lawyer Joe Giglio, was accused of criminal damage and the arson of a Ford Transit in Triq Tumas Fenech Qormi on 22 January.
In a separate arraignment, 18-year-old Luca Emanuele Corito, represented by lawyer Kathleen Grima, was accused of complicity in the offence. He was also accused of driving without a licence, insurance and with a violation of the Arms Act after a single round of 9mm ammunition was found in his car.
