STATEMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT OF MALTA

Two years after the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia, which represents a shocking attack on the whole country, the Government of Malta reiterates the commitment of the competent authorities to continue delivering justice. 

 
The investigations, with the involvement at various stages of international organisations such as FBI and Europol, are ongoing. Within 50 days of the murder, three persons were arrested and arraigned in Court accused of the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia. Earlier this year, they were placed under a bill of indictment.
 
The Government has full faith in the ongoing work of the investigators, and the independent inquiring magistrate, who should be allowed to continue carrying out their duties in a serene and independent manner. 
 
An independent inquiry, as already announced by the Maltese Government, is also being established.
