Economy Minister Chris Cardona has been called for police questioning, reportedly over an alleged visit to a German brothel that Daphne Caruana Galizia had written about.

Cardona was called in for questioning by police investigating the murder of Caruana Galizia and was later seen leaving the depot. According to both MaltaToday and Newsbook, the minister was questioned about his alleged visit to the FKK Acapulco in Velbert back in January 2017.

Caruana Galizia had written that Cardona had visited the brothel while on an official visit to Germany but the minister vehemently denied, sued the journalist for libel and ordered the courts to freeze her assets pending the case. The libel suits ended up getting dropped after the journalist’s assassination.
