- Malta’s attorney general has appealed the verdict.

## Summary

Daphne Caruana Galizia’s three sons have continued to seek justice since the Maltese investigative journalist was murdered in 2017 after reporting on corruption and powerful figures. Their efforts have brought renewed attention to the case, especially after businessman Yorgen Fenech, accused of involvement in the murder, was acquitted in September 2026.

Two men convicted of planting the bomb received 40-year sentences in 2022, and two explosives suppliers were sentenced to life in prison in 2025. Fenech’s 55-day trial ended in an eight-to-one jury vote for acquittal; after the brothers highlighted jurors’ past online comments and a WhatsApp group, police questioned three jurors and Malta’s attorney general appealed the verdict. Three judges are due to decide whether it stands or a new trial is ordered.
