CoE rapporteur hits out at government after Daphne murder reports

Sunday’s media revelations raise serious questions about whether Malta’s authorities really left no stone unturned in response to the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia, a Council of Europe rapporteur has said.
Pieter Omtzigt also queried whether information about the police investigation could have been passed up the chain, reaching top government officials and eventually “passed on” to potential suspects.

Through a series of hard-hitting tweets, Dutch MP Omtzigt was reacting to a story in The Sunday Times of Malta, which reported how a major businessman is one of the key potential suspects behind the October 2017 car bombing. 
Mr Omtzigt raised serious questions about whether there will ever be justice for assassinated journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, given the Prime Minister’s firm grip on key institutions. 
“If Keith Schembri and Konrad Mizzi are connected to a potential suspect and their boss, Joseph Muscat, appoints the police chief, the Attorney General and the judges, can there ever be justice for Daphne?”, the MP questioned.
The Prime Minister’s office did not respond to an immediate request for comment on the key points raised by Mr Omtzigt.
