A man who earlier this year allegedly harassed his former girlfriend and threatened to plant a bomb in her car was back in court on Thursday after mobile phone localisation placed him in Senglea at the time that the woman’s car was set on fire last December.
Omar Djelassi, a 23-year old Cospicua resident, was charged with damaging the woman’s car as well as another car parked nearby and the façade of a residence on the night of December 16. He was also accused of harassing and threatening the woman and her mother, threatening them through phone calls and messages, causing them to fear violence as well as breaching previous bail conditions.

A man whose alleged threat to plant a bomb in his ex’s car led to an AFM bomb disposal unit callout has been denied bail on harassment charges.
Inspectors Darren Buhagiar and Clayton Camilleri charged 23 year-old Omar Djelassi with harassing his ex-girlfriend and her mother through messages and phone calls, before Magistrate Yana Micallef Stafrace this afternoon.
Inspector Camilleri told the court that the threats were disturbing and harsh. He also accused Djelassi of breaching previous bail conditions. “The victims are unable to sleep now. The threats include a car bomb,” Inspector Buhagiar told the court.
