Spektakulärer Fall: Mord an Journalistin in Malta: Geschäftsmann freigesprochen
Der Anschlag auf die Bloggerin Daphne Caruana Galizia gilt als der spektakulärste Mordfall Maltas. Ein prominenter Geschäftsmann galt als mutmaßlicher Drahtzieher. Nun wird er freigesprochen.
Valletta, Malta - Nearly nine years after journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia's deadly car bombing in Malta, businessman Yorgen Fenech has been acquitted of orchestrating her death. The 44-year-old entrepreneur was found not guilty of both charges of assisting in the murder and criminal conspiracy by a jury in Valletta. This surprising turn of events marks one of the most sensational murder cases in the history of Malta's small EU nation.
Caruana Galizia, 53, was blown up in her car near her home on October 16, 2017. She was one of Malta's most prominent investigative reporters, having exposed corruption in politics and business. Three hired killers had already pleaded guilty to the murder and are currently serving sentences ranging from 15 to 40 years. Two others convicted of supplying the bomb received life sentences.
