A Maltese jury acquits a businessman accused of masterminding the 2017 car bombing that kills investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, according to reports.
The case relates to the 2017 attack in which Caruana Galizia dies when her vehicle is targeted. Prosecutors had argued the businessman played a central role in organizing the killing, framing it as a planned act rather than an isolated crime.
Outlets describe the verdict as an acquittal by a jury, emphasizing that the prosecution does not secure a conviction in this trial. The reporting also highlights the broader context of ongoing legal proceedings tied to the car bombing, which has drawn international attention and includes multiple suspects and trials over the years.
