Solicitor for Criminal Law in San Gwann

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?

Someone filed a police report against me in Malta over what I believe was a minor personal dispute, but they’ve now told me directly they want to withdraw the complaint and don’t want to pursue it further. Does that automatically mean the whole matter goes away?

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?

I was asked by police in Malta to provide fingerprints and a DNA sample in connection with an investigation. I wasn’t entirely sure whether I actually had to comply, or what happens to that information afterwards if I’m never actually charged with anything.

I gave a statement to the police in Malta as a witness to an incident, but after thinking about it more, I believe I got a couple of details wrong, not deliberately, just genuine confusion about timing. Can I go back and correct my statement, or am I stuck with what I originally said?

I had a serious disagreement with my manager at work in Malta over money I believe I was legitimately owed, and things got heated verbally. My employer is now threatening to report me to the police for ‘threatening behaviour’, which I think is a wild exaggeration of what actually happened. Can something like this really escalate into a criminal matter?

I secretly recorded a conversation with someone in Malta because I felt I needed evidence of what they were saying to me, without telling them I was recording. Now I’m worried I may have actually broken the law myself by doing this. Is covert recording a criminal offence here?

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?
