Justice Denied in Malta: A Blow to Press Freedom The acquittal of tycoon Yorgen Fenech in the murder case of investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia has sparked widespread outrage from Caruana Galizia's family, media freedom advocates, and international organizations.
The verdict, handed down by a Maltese court on Wednesday, is a devastating blow to press freedom and a stark reminder of the impunity that still pervades Malta's corridors of power.
The acquittal is particularly galling given the overwhelming evidence against Fenech.
