Outrage as Maltese tycoon acquitted in journalist's murder

Maltese businessman Yorgen Fenech has been found not guilty of complicity to murder journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. Almost nine years after the attack, the question of who ordered her death remains unanswered.

What does acquittal in the Daphne Caruana Galizia case mean for journalists?

This week, FRANCE 24's media show Scoop looks at the murder of anti-corruption journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. Press freedom groups are furious after Maltese businessman Yorgen Fenech was acquitted of involvement. Caruana Galizia was an outspoken critic of the government and described as a "one-woman WikiLeaks". She was killed by a car bomb in 2017 and speculation followed that influential figures may have been involved. Our guest is the Times of Malta Editor-in-Chief, Herman Grech.
