Il-Pips Muscat jailed for eight months

Double-murderer Charles Muscat, also known as Il-Pips, was yesterday jailed for eight months and fined €466 after admitting trafficking heroin in September 1995.
Muscat is currently serving a 25-year jail term for a double-murder.
Magisterial inquiries were launched in 2004 into four drug finds at the Corradino Correctional Facility, which also involved Charles Muscat who had been found with 2 grams of heroin at St Luke’s Hospital whilst undergoing surgical treatment.
Prisoners accused of drug possession face an added toll of 365 days in prison, if disciplined by the prison authorities directly.
Muscat was also accused of forming part of a drug ring from his prison cell, when Raymond Borg and Fabio Psaila were arrested in May 2002 on the outskirts of Catania with four kilos of cocaine and one kilo of marijuana.
Intensive interrogations led the police to dismantle an intricate drug ring, whose masterminds included at least five prison inmates who directed operations from Corradino.
The five prison inmates arraigned, including Charles Muscat, were Mario Camilleri ‘l-Imniehru’ and his son Pierre, Emanuel Camilleri ‘Il-Bully’ and Alfred Bugeja ‘Il-Porporina’.
