Report: Police sources have doubts on terror charges against Syrians

“Many people within the force feel the situation was blown out of proportion”, the newspaper quoted those sources.

They told MaltaToday that the men arrested last week posed no imminent threat, and that investigations suggest there were no terrorist operations going on.

Seven males of Syrian nationality appeared in court on Sunday 30 April to face terrorism-related charges.

This followed their arrest by the police in a counter-terrorism operation that also involved Europol.
