Malta's attorney general moved to appeal the 8-1 jury acquittal of businessman Yorgen Fenech, who had been charged with complicity in the 2017 car bomb murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. While five individuals have already been convicted for their roles in the killing or providing the explosive device, Fenech’s acquittal left no one legally held responsible for commissioning the crime. The attorney general has a 15-day window to file an appeal based on claims of grave procedural irregularities or the misapplication of law.
