Solicitor for Criminal Law in Gzira

My employer in Malta accused me of stealing money from the till and reported it to the police, but that was over four months ago and I’ve heard nothing since, no charges, no further questioning, nothing. Meanwhile I’ve already been dismissed and my reputation feels damaged. What is actually happening in situations like this?

Someone has come forward alleging that I committed an offence against them a number of years ago in Malta, something I genuinely don’t recall happening the way they’re describing it. Is there a time limit after which the police can no longer bring charges for old incidents, or can this be pursued no matter how much time has passed?

I’m facing what feels like several separate charges arising from a single incident I was involved in Malta, and I don’t understand how one event can lead to multiple distinct charges rather than just one. Is this normal, or does it seem like the charges are being unfairly stacked against me?

I have an old, relatively minor criminal conviction in Malta from several years ago and it’s now creating problems when I apply for certain jobs that require a conduct certificate. Is there any way to have this removed or excluded from future checks?

I made some posts online, from outside Malta, that a person in Malta is now claiming were defamatory or harassing towards them. I wasn’t physically in the country when I posted them. Can Maltese law actually reach me for something I did while I was abroad?

I was asked to come in for police questioning in Malta in relation to an ongoing investigation, though I haven’t been arrested. I’m not sure whether I have the right to have a lawyer present, or whether I even have to answer questions at all in this situation.

I’ve been summoned to the Court of Magistrates in Malta over what feels like a fairly minor traffic offence, and I’m wondering whether it’s really necessary to hire a lawyer for something like this, or whether I could just represent myself and explain the situation to the magistrate directly.

Police came to my apartment in Malta and wanted to search it in connection with an investigation, but they did not show me any written warrant, just said they had ‘authority’ to enter. Is this legal, and what should I have done in that moment?
