The highly anticipated trial of Yorgen Fenech, accused of masterminding the murder of Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, has hit a roadblock. Fenech’s lawyers have argued that the trial cannot proceed in an “atmosphere of podcasts,” citing concerns about the intense media scrutiny and public discussion surrounding the case. This development has left the Caruana Galizia family worried about the trial’s delay, as they seek justice for Daphne’s brutal murder.
The case has been ongoing for years, with Fenech accused of complicity in murder and criminal association. Despite the prosecutors pushing for a life sentence, the trial has been marred by delays and controversies. The latest development has sparked concerns about the impact of media coverage on the trial’s outcome. Fenech’s lawyers argue that the constant media attention and public discussion are creating an atmosphere that is not conducive to a fair trial.
The Caruana Galizia family has been vocal about their concerns regarding the trial’s delay. They have been seeking justice for Daphne’s murder, which occurred in 2017. The family has expressed frustration with the slow pace of the trial and the various obstacles that have arisen along the way. As the trial continues to be delayed, the family’s concerns are likely to grow.
In a related development, there are concerns that Fenech may be released from jail if he is not tried by next June. This possibility has added to the sense of urgency and frustration surrounding the trial. As the legal proceedings continue to unfold, it remains to be seen how the trial will proceed and when justice will be served for Daphne Caruana Galizia and her family.
