The Empire Strike Back. Remember the Vitals / Steward PPP fraud involving Malta’s hospitals that @OCCRP & @WSJ reported on? Not only did charges against PEPs & fixers stall, but charges have now started being issued against the prosecution experts. timesofmalta.com/article/jud…

A juror who acquitted Yorgen Fenech wrote "not even her children mourn her" in a juror WhatsApp group they disturbingly named "The line of truth". Others hid prior hostile posts about Daphne. Was this a trial capable of holding killers to account? timesofmalta.com/article/not…

‘Not even Daphne's children mourn her’, juror wrote after Yorgen Fenech verdict

Two other jurors shared hostile posts about slain journalist in the past

Like everyone else in Malta I’m watching the Yorgen Fenech interrogation tapes. Absenting jury interference, it is clear that (among other things) the judge didn’t explain the offence of conspiracy well enough since these tapes include a clear admission. timesofmalta.com/article/wat…

“The contrast between the bravery of Daphne Caruana Galizia and the cowardice of [Yorgen] Fenech is as shocking as his acquittal.” observer.co.uk/opinion-and-i…

The betrayal of Daphne | The Observer

The acquittal of a Maltese businessman for involvement in the murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia is a hammer blow to justice, press freedom and the EU

The word you’re after is backsliding (and framing).

In Malta, Yorgen Fenech admitted paying money to Daphne’s killers, admitted covering it up, and asked for a pardon 3 times - a jury acquitted him anyway. He walks free. In Slovakia, Kočner was acquitted of Jan’s assassination (under appeal). He is in prison for tax evasion. 1/3

In either case, State involvement was alleged. There was an uproar. Fico fell. Muscat handed over to his chosen successor. The international community looked away. Fico came back. Muscat’s successor delivered “continuity”, Are we seriously surprised at the result? 2/3

Malta: prosecution let the press be gagged for 7 yrs, the jury barred from hearing about pardon requests or motives (all sub judice/politicised), just a bungled probe. Slovakia: Fico hollowed out the prosecution (the tax evasion case fell through the gap) Still surprised? 3/3

I’m glad people can finally begin to understand why Saviour “kiltlu wiccu” Balzan has no place in journalism.

This 2021 post deserves another look. Yorgen Fenech is finally on trial for Daphne’s assassination in 2017. His defence are trying to blame others. Yorgen Fenech paid half a million to the hitmen. #DaphneCaruanaGalzia #JusticeforDaphne
BugM@bugdavem21 Jun 2021
Don't think this statement under oath by the Maltese police on 2 June, 2021 that Yorgen Fenech admitted under interrogation to having paid around €500,000 for #DaphneCaruanaGalizia's assassination & related matters got enough coverage.
