The jury trial of businessman Yorgen Fenech continues in Malta, with the prosecution expected to move from procedural matters to laying out evidence on subsequent days. Fenech is charged with complicity in the wilful homicide of investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia and with criminal association to commit the murder. According to reporting, the trial begins with jurors and their reserves being empanelled, while the first day is largely procedural. On the second day, prosecutors outline how the case is expected to proceed and present aspects of the alleged murder plot, including opening remarks directed at jurors. One account of the prosecution’s address describes prosecutors referring to Caruana Galizia as “a wife, a mother, a sister.” By the third day, witness testimony is set to begin, indicating the case shifts further into substantive evidence. The proceedings remain focused on the prosecution’s claim that Fenech is linked to the assassination of Caruana Galizia, with the next stages centered on witness evidence and presentation of the alleged connections to the killing.
