Magistrate fines man Lm57,000 for illegal building in Gozo

A magistrate yesterday fined a man Lm57,300 after he failed to pull down a building he built illegally in Nadur, Gozo.

On 19 November 1997, a magistrates? court had found Guda Taddeus Rapa, 55, from Victoria, guilty of building illegally in Nadur and was ordered to pull down the edifice within three months.

He appealed the decision but the Appeals Court, presided over by Chief Justice Vincent De Gaetano, on 26 October 1998, turned down the appeal and ordered him to destroy the illegal building.

Magistrate Consuelo Scerri Herrera, presiding over the Gozo Court, fined Mr Rapa Lm57,300 for the 2,292 days during which he failed to conform with the law.
