VALLETTA, Malta — More than two years after a car bomb killed Malta’s best-known investigative journalist, prosecutors in the Mediterranean island nation Saturday charged a wealthy Maltese businessman with complicity in her murder and other crimes.
The killing in October 2017 caused outrage across Europe, putting a harsh spotlight on Malta, the smallest member of the European Union and a country denounced as a “mafia state” by Matthew Caruana Galizia, the journalist’s oldest son. Maltese news media outlets reported Friday that Muscat planned to announce his resignation “imminently,” but by late Saturday night he had not done so, despite widespread suspicions that some of his close associates in government may have been involved in the murder plot.
Story continuesSchembri resigned Tuesday, along with two ministers who are also suspected of possible involvement in, or knowledge of, the plot. None have been charged.
