Melvin Theuma – the man believed to have acted as a middleman in the planned murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia and the personal fixer of businessman Yorgen Fenech – will likely not testify today.

A court sitting compiling evidence in the assassination has been postponed after Maltese police filed an official request.

The sitting would have seen further evidence compiled against three of the alleged hitmen and shed further light on the planning of the murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.

Vince Muscat and brothers Alfred and George Degiorgio are believed to be the hitmen who carried out the car bomb assassination of Caruana Galizia.

After President George Vella accepted Theuma’s pardon plea for full immunity in exchange for his testimony, he was set to testify today in a hearing overseen by Magistrate Claire Stafrace Zammit following an application by the Attorney General requesting the court to reopen the complication of evidence in this case.

Sources have also informed Lovin Malta that Theuma has not yet testified with the inquiry magistrate in the case of Daphne Caruana Galizia either.

Theuma is a white taxi driver from Birkirkara, who had previously been implicated in cases involving loan sharking and threatening behavior. Theuma’s lawyers are Kathleen Grima and Matthew Brincat.

What do you think of this postponement?
