[Maltese Businessman Acquitted Following Daphne Caruana‑Galizia Murder Trial]
Maltese courts acquitted tycoon Yorgen Fenech on Wednesday of orchestrating the car‑bomb killing that resulted in the death of investigative reporter Daphne Caruana‑Galizia. The verdict has provoked intense reactions from her family and representatives of media‑freedom movements, who stress the importance of justice in holding those responsible accountable. Yorgen Fenech had been central to investigations surrounding the 2017 assassination, an incident that sparked nationwide protests and contributed to the overthrow of several governments.
MaltaToday Executive Editor Kurt Sansone spoke with France 24, highlighting how the outcome reinforces ongoing concerns over transparency and the protection of independent journalism in Malta.
