Justice Eludes Malta, Despite Grim Reminder of Corruption's Cost The acquittal of Yorgen Fenech in the murder trial of Daphne Caruana Galizia serves as a stark reminder that the rule of law in Malta remains vulnerable to manipulation by powerful interests.
The eight hour deliberation by the jury was swift, but the implications of this verdict are far reaching and troubling.
The acquittal comes at a time when the Caruana Galizia family has been waiting for nearly a decade for lasting justice. Institutional failures that enabled her murder remain unaddressed and unreformed.
