Miriam Pace Ritratt: Newsbook
Judge Joe Mifsud today handed down a sentence to the two architects involved in the construction happening next door to Miriam Pace’s house, the woman who was buried under the rubble of her own home on 2nd March 2020. The sentence handed down was a fine and community work for both architects, despite being found guilty of involuntary murder.
Angry reactions met this sentence, particularly expressed by NGOs Repubblika and Moviment Graffitti.
Moviment Graffitti described the decision as being handed down by the “Courts of Injustice”, saying that it reflects how Malta completely disrespects the value of human life. It added that the sentence sends a message to developers saying that they can do whatever they want.

The Valletta Cultural Foundation boss and chairman of Labour TV channel One has branded civil society group Repubblika “extremists” for announcing a protest on Monday evening in a renewed call for justice for Daphne Caruana Galizia.
Taking to Facebook, Jason Micallef called the NGOs “extremists” and accused them of stirring up trouble. “Extremists are people who instigate, disrupt and hinder when things do not go their way,” he said.
