Yorgen Fenech is now out of prison and back to business. What new schemes and conspiracies will he conjure now that he is out and about?
Let’s recapitulate his actions whilst in custody.
He tried to bribe and buy journalists, met a businessman with the help of a prison official and defended himself with multiple court cases. He is being accused in court of commissioning the murder of a journalist, so his bribes do come with some baggage. According to his previous English teacher, it generally works out well.
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.
Unfortunately, this official lack of consideration towards the victims of a murder is not only having negative repercussions on the security and rule of law of our society, but it is also effecting our social psychology as it deteriorate our collective empathy. Yorgen Fenech is not the only suspected murderer living within society. We are getting accustomed to living with dangerous criminals, effectively normalising this situation while the government is focused on rushing legislation to cover-up corruption and the abuse of power.
Yorgen Fenech would serve as a great model for a Malta Tourism Authority marketing campaign. It should be called “Welcome to Crime Town.”
