Spectacular case: Murder of a journalist in Malta: businessman acquitted
The attack on blogger Daphne Caruana Galizia is considered the most spectacular murder case in Malta. A prominent businessman was considered the alleged mastermind. Now he is being acquitted.
Yorgen Fenech, a 44-year-old businessman, has been acquitted of charges that he was the mastermind behind the 2017 car bomb murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia in Malta. A jury in Valletta cleared Fenech of charges of aiding and abetting murder and criminal conspiracy. Caruana Galizia, 53, was killed on October 16, 2017, near her home and was known for investigating corruption in politics and business.
Three hitmen have already pleaded guilty and are serving prison sentences, while two others were given life sentences for supplying the bomb.
