Mr. Justice Aaron Bugeja heard submissions on Thursday, after Elmushraty’s lawyers, Franco Debono, Marion Camilleri and Francesca Zarb filed a bail request before the Criminal Court. “Organised crime is not an easy crime to prove. The prosecutor cited European Court judgments which found no breach of a suspect’s rights after a year of being detained under preventive arrest. But in spite of this, they are still straining themselves to bring drugs into the equation.”“Where is the evidence of organised crime?” asked the lawyer. Additionally, the charge of organised crime still had to be proven, said the lawyer.
