The same prosecutor in Yorgen Fenech’s murder case is the same one who botched Charles Mercieca’s bribery case

Philip Galea Farrugia was the most senior prosecutor in the Office of the Attorney General before he applied to become a Magistrate. He was also the prosecutor who was handling the AG’s most high-profile and important case – the case of Yorgen Fenech’s murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia. Following repeated appearances in the case’s court proceedings, it is now clear that the AG has handed over this case to Anthony Vella, the same prosecutor who botched Charles Mercieca’s bribery case. Charles Mercieca is a sly charlatan with the attitude of a corrupt criminal lawyer.

If there is a case that needs a fighting prosecutor is this one, and it is extremely worrying that a prosecutor who made a fatal mistake against a high-profile suspect would be entrusted with the most important case at the Office. The arrival of Geoffrey Azzopardi at the AG can’t come soon enough.

    One imagines in his coke -addled mind he fancies himself as some political big shot in the next 5 -10 years. Remember this sonny – when the Mafia has you, they have you for life – no way out.
