At the opening of a Council of Europe inquiry into judicial failures following Daphne Caruana Galizia’s assassination, Shami Chakrabarti warned that Malta remains vulnerable to repeated high-level corruption unless it strengthens the rule of law and protections for journalists. Businessman Yorgen Fenech was acquitted of involvement in the murder by an 8-1 jury majority, and prosecutors are reportedly preparing an appeal.
