Verdict Declared
In a verdict announced on Thursday, Maltese prosecutors were found not guilty in the case that has drawn international attention since the car‑bomb that killed Daphne Caruana Galizia exploded outside her home in 2017. The court concluded that the evidence presented did not prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused carried out the murder.[1]
Reaction from Press‑Freedom Advocates
Tom Gibson, Deputy Director of the Committee to Protect Journalists – an organization that followed the investigation for years – described the outcome as “devastating.” He said the decision undermined confidence in Malta’s commitment to safeguarding press freedom and called for a thorough investigation into the investigative process. The group had supported a broad campaign to uncover the truth behind Galizia’s killing, arguing that the murder remains a stark warning to journalists who expose corruption.[1]
