DB Group owner Silvio Debono and the Caruana Galizia family have reached a settlement that effectively ends 19 libel suits which the business mogul had filed against Daphne Caruana Galizia four years ago.
Debono had filed all lawsuits in March 2017, seven months before the journalist was killed in a car bomb explosion outside her Bidnija home, in response to articles Caruana Galizia published about the highly controversial ITS land deal at St Geoge s Bay.
The land is to be turned into a mega-development, dubbed City Centre, by Debono s DB Group.
Following her murder, Caruana Galizia s husband and three sons subsequently stepped into the ongoing civil proceedings as respondents.
