‘The Justice System Is Failing Victims Of Organised Crime’: Daphne Caruana Galizia Foundation
Corinne Vella, on behalf of the Daphne Caruana Galizia Foundation, issued a statement moments ago following the news that Yorgen Fenech has been released on bail.
“Daphne was assassinated on 16 October 2017 for telling the truth. The Maltese State failed to protect Daphne’s life and it is now failing her in death. Almost eight years on, justice for her murder has not been delivered. The bomb that killed Daphne was a warning: the justice system is failing the victims of organised crime,” the statement read.
Vella, the sister of Caruana Galizia, uploaded a separate post on Facebook with regards to Yorgen Fenech’s granting of bail.
Her comments mirrored the ones made by Daphne’s son, Matthew Caruana Galizia, only moments prior.
“The blame for killers being released on bail without any trial date in sight lies with the prime minister and the minister of justice.”
