Comments (1) Share latest comment from RF, 26/08/2026 10:16: A long-winded trial where several prosecution witnesses added no value to evidence against the accused but more important ones from Castille were not called to testify.

The AG and police commissioner have much to answer for sham and incomplete investigations and should themselves be the subjects of a serious inquiry. Didn't the Secret Services get wind of what was being planned over several months? Why didn't they warn and protect Mrs Caruana Galizia? Were they in it as well?
