The Murder That Shook Malta’s Elite

Investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was killed by a car bomb outside her home in Malta on October 16, 2017. Her murder shocked Europe. She had spent years investigating corruption, offshore companies, political influence and powerful business interests. The men who planted the bomb have been convicted. The men who supplied it have been convicted. A middleman admitted his role. But the question of who ordered the assassination remains contested. In September 2026, Maltese businessman Yorgen Fenech was acquitted by an 8–1 jury of complicity and criminal association in Daphne Caruana Galizia’s murder. The verdict triggered protests across Malta. Then came new questions about alleged juror misconduct. And on September 22, Malta’s attorney general filed an appeal.
