The man facing life in jail over his alleged involvement in the murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia has called for the “suspension or termination” of the public inquiry into her death claiming that it is breaching his human rights.
In a letter to the Council of Europe, Fenech requested that immediate action be taken to safeguard the integrity of all ongoing judicial proceedings. He claims that his rights to a fair trial and to respect for private and family life are being breached.
The letter was addressed to the President of the Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly, President of the CoE's Monitoring Committee, the President of the CoE's Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights; the Speaker of the Maltese House of Representatives Anġlu Farrugia; Prime Minister Robert Abela, Justice Minister Edward Zammit Lewis, the State Advocate Chris Soler and the board of the public inquiry.
