State witness Melvin Theuma is testifying in the compilation of evidence against Yorgen Fenech on Tuesday
The wealthy businessman is accused of conspiring to murder journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia in a car bomb on October 16, 2017.
Earlier a Europol expert took to the stand. It is not the first time the EU law enforcement agency has testified in the case - last year its data extraction experts testified about data from what was dubbed Operation Blue Elephant .
The sitting comes weeks after Fenech made his latest bail request - the eighth since he was arraigned in November 2019.
The accused was last in court in April, when the deputy attorney general outlined an alleged escape plan that would have seen Fenech sail from Malta to Sicily and on to Nice.
A neighbour of Carmel Chircop has described how he found the lawyer lying dead in his garage doorway with two gun shots in his body.

Adrian Agius is accused of commissioning Chircop s murder while George Degiorgio and Jamie Vella are charged with carrying out the hit. They deny the charges.
The witness was passing by the garage complex on John Borg Street, Birkirkara at around 6.55am when he met a friend, who told him they had heard four shots.
The compilation of evidence against four men facing charges of involvement in two murders, including that of Daphne Caruana Galizia, continues on Tuesday.
