Summary
A Malta jury has acquitted Yorgen Fenech of orchestrating the 2017 car bombing that killed investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, delivering an 8-1 verdict in a case seen as pivotal for press freedom. Prosecutors had sought life imprisonment, alleging Fenech paid €150,000 to silence her—though his defense claimed he was merely a messenger under blackmail. The acquittal stings Caruana Galizia’s family and anti-corruption advocates, while the prosecution vows to appeal, leaving Maltese politics and justice deeply entangled.
