Maltese Jury Acquits Yorgen Fenech in Daphne Caruana Galizia Murder Trial

A Maltese jury has acquitted businessman Yorgen Fenech of charges related to the 2017 car bomb killing of investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. The verdict, reached by an 8-1 margin after eight hours of deliberation, marks the end of prosecutions for the last of six individuals charged in the case. While Fenech was cleared of complicity and criminal conspiracy, the acquittal has sparked outrage from the victim's family and opposition parties, who argue that institutional failures in Malta remain unaddressed. Other co-defendants, including the hitmen and bomb suppliers, have already received lengthy prison sentences, but the failure to convict the alleged mastermind has intensified calls for judicial reform and greater protection for journalists in the EU's smallest member state.

While lower-level perpetrators have been convicted, the acquittal of the alleged mastermind highlights ongoing concerns about impunity in Malta’s political and business elite.
