A court has denied bail to Adrian Agius, one of the
tal-Maksar brothers, who stands accused of the murder of lawyer Carmel Chircop, dismissing arguments made by his legal team.
Agius was charged alongside his brother Robert, George Degiorgio and Jamie Vella earlier this year.
Robert Agius and Jamie Vella stand accused of supplying the bomb that was used to kill Daphne Caruana Galizia, while Degiorgio and Adrian Agius have been charged with Chircop’s murder.
