DJ Alex Back in the Booth After Assault Case Dropped

In the heart of Paceville, the pulsating hub of Malta’s nightlife, DJ Alex is back behind the decks, his hands dancing over the turntables as he weaves his magic into the night. Just a few weeks ago, this scene was uncertain. The DJ, known for his energetic sets and local hits, was accused of assaulting his partner. But today, the case has been dropped, and DJ Alex is back where he belongs.

The allegations surfaced in late January, sending shockwaves through Malta’s vibrant music scene. DJ Alex, real name Alexander Borg, was accused by his partner of a heated argument that turned physical. The incident, allegedly occurring at their St. Julian’s apartment, led to the DJ’s arrest and subsequent court appearances.

The local music community was divided. Some stood by DJ Alex, citing his reputation as a friendly, laid-back individual. Others, while acknowledging his talent, expressed concern and support for the alleged victim. The case cast a shadow over the local music scene, sparking conversations about domestic violence and the often hidden side of the glitzy nightlife industry.

Last week, the courtroom drama came to an abrupt end. The prosecution dropped the case, citing insufficient evidence. The alleged victim, who had initially pressed charges, chose not to pursue the matter further. In a statement released after the hearing, DJ Alex expressed relief and gratitude, thanking his supporters and promising to use his platform to raise awareness about domestic violence.

“I’m grateful for this second chance,” DJ Alex told Hot Malta. “I’ve learned a lot from this experience. I want to use my music and my platform to encourage people to talk about these issues, to seek help when they need it.”

With the case dismissed, DJ Alex is back at his residency at one of Malta’s most popular clubs, located on the bustling Bay Street in St. Julian’s. The crowd is back to dancing, but the conversation about domestic violence lingers. Local NGOs like Dar tal-Providenza and Karm ma Kura have welcomed DJ Alex’s pledge to raise awareness, hoping his influence can help break the silence around domestic violence.

“We’re glad to see DJ Alex using his platform to raise awareness,” said a spokesperson from Karm ma Kura. “We need more public figures to speak out about these issues. It helps to break the stigma and encourages victims to seek help.”
