New allegations have emerged in the ongoing Yorgen Fenech murder trial, with the accused reportedly telling police interrogators that "corrupt" police were covering for former chief of staff Keith Schembri. Fenech also claimed that former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat inquired about the trustworthiness of middleman Melvin Theuma, and that Schembri sent him a 'script' and allegedly paid over €75,000 for the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia.
Adding to the trial's controversy, jurors were reportedly offered various perks, including access to a gym, pool, hairdressers, and BBQ nights. Separately, a court rejected former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat's attempt to compel the police to prosecute a court-appointed expert involved in the hospitals' deal inquiry.
