Moștenitorul imperiului Hilton din Malta, achitat în cazul asasinării jurnalistei Daphne Caruana Galizia. Procurorii ceruseră închisoare pe viață

Yorgen Fenech, a Maltese businessman accused of orchestrating the murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, was acquitted by a Maltese court. The jury found him not guilty of both charges: complicity in intentional murder and conspiracy to commit a crime. This verdict, which came after a two-month trial, is expected to be contested by prosecutors. Fenech was alleged to have paid €150,000 for the assassination, which has become a symbol of the fight against corruption and for press freedom in Malta. The case has significant political implications, having contributed to the resignation of Prime Minister Joseph Muscat and other officials. Fenech denied any involvement in the murder, claiming he was merely an intermediary.
