Malta in a Battle for Sound Institutions and Rule of Law - Daphne's Father
Civil society groups led the march after Yorgen Fenech’s acquittal, as prosecutors weigh a limited appeal on points of law.
- On Wednesday, a large crowd marched through VALLETTA, Malta, demanding justice for assassinated journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia following the recent acquittal of business mogul Yorgen Fenech.
- A jury cleared Fenech of murder complicity two weeks ago, though three men who planted the 2017 car bomb remain imprisoned. The acquittal shocked many in the European Union's smallest nation.
- Demonstrators shouted "mafia, mafia" and carried placards reading "Justice Denied." Caruana Galizia's niece, Amy Mallia, said the verdict brought back "the same grief, disbelief, and anger" she experienced.
- Repubblika leader Manuel Delia called for anti-mafia legislation and government action to protect journalists, while Malta's government urged caution as the attorney general evaluates a limited legal appeal.
- Caruana Galizia's father, Michael Vella, told the crowd the struggle extends beyond individual accountability, advocating for a country governed by sound institutions and the rule of law rather than corruption.
