Yorgen Fenech has been freed on bail against a €80,000 deposit and a guarantee of €120,000. He is obliged to live in a prescribed address provided to him by his family His aunt, Moira Fenech will post her Tumas Group shares as collateral for bail.

Yorgen Fenech is awaiting trial on accusations of having commissioned the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia. He was arrested in late November 2019 and the trial has not yet started with the Court still receiving submissions of evidence about the case. The case has also been delayed by many technical challenges and issues by the defence.

The son of the slain journalist, Matthew Caruana Galizia stated that the government is to blame for Yorgen Fenech’s freedom as it unnecessarily delayed legal and justice reforms which would have ensured a more timely result of the ongoing case. Matthew Caruana Galizia heads the Daphne Caruana Galizia Foundation.

    The comment is pointing to FAILURE – not just by politicians – but by the courts as well.

    When a country has a failing (at best) or non-functioning (at worst) court system, it can no longer be recognized as a functioning state by other democratic states.

    We are not waiting for a collapse of the state. This is absolute evidence HERE and NOW of the collapse of the Maltese state.

    Pure jungle filled with savage anacondas and deadly vipers.

    […] Matthew Caruana Galizia, son of slain journalist, Daphne Caruana Galizia, reiterated that the Prime Minister’s refusal to fix the dysfunction of the Justice system has led to the point where a high-profile murder suspect is now free and living within society. The lack of effort in addressing this dysfunction is obviously political and intentional. Had it been a high-profile Labour figure that was murdered, Labour would probably declare a state of emergency until justice is done. […]
