Yesterday, just right after the Prime Minister criticised Prosecutors for charging suspects on criminal conspiracy charges, Joseph Muscat’s criminal faction within the Labour Party quickly opened up an attack against Prosecutors accusing them of leaking information to the Times of Malta.
Yesterday, Times of Malta published a story about the jurors who acquitted Yorgen Fenech and a WhatsApp group in which they made disparaging comments about members of the family of murder victim Daphne Caruana Galizia, including one remark that “not even her children mourn her.” The story also relates to the appeal filed by the Attorney-General of Yorgen Fenech’s verdict.
Labour Party pundits and propagandists have strongly defended the jurists of Yorgen Fenech’s case including Joseph Muscat himself. This is obviously not being done in the interest of the rule of law or the independence of institutions. Rather, it fits into Labour’s wider narrative—and, most importantly, the narrative promoted by Joseph Muscat and Yorgen Fenech—to delegitimise Daphne Caruana Galizia. The jurors’ comments further highlight the persistence of a campaign to discredit the murdered journalist, marked by deep resentment and hostility towards her.
Labour has been gradually undermining the authority and independence of institutions through its influence and control, and its efforts to weaken the Office of the Attorney General are part of this process. Labour is now using Yorgen Fenech’s verdict as an opportunity to launch a new attack on the Office. With the Office led by a corrupt Attorney General, Labour now wants to weaken the effectiveness of prosecutors who are fighting organised crime and threatening its links to the Mafia.
Note that this is being done in their interest. Joseph Muscat is being charged by the Prosecutor over money-laundering. His little pip-squeak Neville Gafa enjoyed immunity by the Attorney-General after having failed to charge him over his fraudulent visa sales to Libyans.
