A businessman has been
charged with the murder of Malta’s best known investigative journalist, Daphne Caruana
Galizia. Local tycoon Yorgen
Fenech, the 38-year-old head of a gambling and property empire, was arraigned
on Saturday evening, and charged with participating in a criminal organisation,
complicity in causing an explosion, and complicity in the murder of Caruana

The journalist, who had exposed corruption at the highest levels within the Maltese government, died when an explosive device planted under the driver’s seat of her rental car was detonated on 16 October 2017.
