Every day for 17 years, Antonio Gatt and his family lived in fear of what the court was going to decide after he was charged with conspiring to deal in drugs.
The family knew he was innocent – all he had done was collect a parcel, containing what he believed to be auto parts, for his brother.
But the wait was a nightmare, prolonged through no fault of their own, until the day, nearly two decades later, that he was cleared of all charges.
“The day my husband was arrested was the day the catastrophe began. We were victims for 17 long years,” his wife, Catherine, 67, says.

Notwithstanding the huge challenges, employees remained at the top of GO’s agenda. All employees still enjoyed free health insurance, free GO services, full flexibility at work and no deductions in salaries, not to mention additional extra days of leave, as well as a GO Company Holiday, which was given to all employees as part of the mental health initiative.
