Maltese tycoon acquitted in Caruana Galizia murder case; prosecution to appeal

Yorgen Fenech was acquitted of both charges related to the 2017 murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, a case that drew international attention to press freedom in Europe. The verdict, likely to be appealed, is a setback for anti-corruption campaigners and raises questions about accountability in Malta's political and business elite.
