Chris Borg of Gzira, was under investigation following a sting on his truck last month by the police Drugs Squad soon after he drove off a ship that arrived from Italy.
Another man, co-driver Charles Seychell had been previously arraigned over the same charges and is currently being held at Corradino prisons. Seychell too registered a not guilty plea.
Police said that the drug was split into two packets by the co-accused, onewas found inside the cabins air condition unit, and the other inside the door panel.
Further police investigations connected to the case are reportedly still underway
