GozoToday is a weekly newspaper focused primarily on Gozo. It hopes to serve as a source of information on business, culture, entertainment and of course current affairs. Gozo has a special charm about it but it is also a bustling Island with an identity of its own. GozoToday is published every Friday and is available to numerous outlets in Gozo and on the ferries that carry so many visitors to Gozo from Malta and beyond. GozoToday MediaToday Co.

Heritage Malta officers iden- tified the culprit when he en- tered the on-site shop. When confronted by members of staff and security personnel, the man admitted to scratching the megalith, adding that he believed such action was per- mitted, due to the presence of other historical graffiti on the same megalith. He remained cooperative when the Police arrived on site, even expressing regret," Heritage Malta said. On Wednesday, the perpe- trator was arraigned before the Gozo Court, where he admit- ted the charges brought against him. He was sentenced to two years imprisonment suspended for four years and to a fine of €15,000. Heritage Malta said attempts to remove the inscriptions would compromise the original stone surface patina and create conditions conducive to rapid deterioration. "Consequently, the damage has been assessed as permanent and irreversible. However, immediate mitiga- tion intervention will be con- ducted to prevent further dam- age."
