Former minister Chris Cardona is questioned in connection with the Daphne Caruana Galizia murder • Cardona denies being on police bail
Chris Cardona was interrogated by the police on Saturday after he was once again implicated in the murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.
Sources told Times of Malta that the former minister was taken in for questioning at police headquarters for around an hour following claims he had met one of the alleged hitmen in the lead-up to the October 2017 car bomb murder.
Cardona was also asked about separate claims that he had set the wheels in motion for the investigative journalist’s assassination plot back in 2015.

Contacted on Monday, Cardona confirmed he had been taken in for questioning by police but insisted he was not on police bail and had not been cautioned by police.
