In a shocking revelation during court proceedings in Valletta, former Economy Minister Chris Cardona and ex-Chief of Staff Keith Schembri have been implicated in the alleged plot to kill journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. The claims surfaced as businessman Yorgen Fenech stands trial for purportedly orchestrating the assassination in 2017.
This tumultuous day in court has reignited discussions about the power dynamics within Maltese politics and the potential cover-ups that may have allowed such a heinous act to transpire.
