Daphne Caruana Galizia murder suspects George and Alfred Degiorgio are to receive access to testimony their former co-accused Vince Muscat gave to a magistrate leading an inquiry into the 2017 murder.
A court ruled on Friday that the brothers are entitled to see what Muscat, known as
il-Koħħu, told an inquiring magistrate about the murder. But the court also found that they have no valid claim to copies of statements Muscat gave to the police.
The decree given by judge Edwina Grima paves the way for Muscat to face cross-examination by a lawyer representing the Degiorgio brothers in the case.
