A woman was granted bail on Tuesday after pleading not guilty to stealing a cash-filled pouch from the Nationalist Party's Żabbar club earlier this month.
Elaine Spiteri, 36, was accused of stealing between €232 and €2,329 in cash on January 20.
Sources said the pouch had been snatched from the bar counter and was later found empty in the bathroom within the same premises. The woman was allegedly spotted by other people leaving the bathroom.
Ms Spiteri was granted bail against a personal guarantee of €10,000.
Magistrate Yana Micallef Stafrace also ordered the woman to sign the bail book once a week and to abide by a curfew between 10pm and 5.30am, warning her not to approach the alleged victim or members of his family.
Inspector Eman Hayman prosecuted.
Lawyer Michael Sciriha was defence counsel.
