Three Gharb football club officials were arraigned at the Gozo Courts this morning accused of employing a non-Maltese person without a permit and the necessary licences.

The officials - Joseph Cauchi, 38, Louis Apap, 56 and Mario Saliba, 40, were also accused of not notifying the Employment and Training Corporation of the employment.

The arraignment follows the arrest of a Nigerian player during the half time of a football game at the Gozo stadium on Thursday. The player’s visa had expired.
