Yorgen Fenech, the alleged mastermind behind the murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, has been released on bail after five years in custody. Fenech was arrested in 2019 while attempting to flee Malta, and is accused of orchestrating Galizia's killing due to her investigations into corruption linked to influential political figures. Despite his not guilty plea, the case has seen extensive pre-trial hearings without a trial date confirmed. Galizia's family expressed frustration, blaming the government's judicial inefficiencies for Fenech's release and the protracted legal processes.
"The blame for killers being released on bail without any trial date in sight lies with the prime minister and those who control the judiciary."
"Fenech was arrested in 2019 by the country's military as he attempted to flee the Mediterranean island on his yacht, highlighting the severity of the case."
