An alleged murder plot involving high-profile inmates, Robert Agius and George Degiorgio, has been uncovered after mobile phones were found in their prison cells. This discovery has led Minister for Home Affairs and Security Glenn Bedingfield to advocate for legislation that would criminalize the possession of mobile phones in prison, citing the 'unacceptable' practices and potential for serious criminal activity.
In other significant domestic news, the MaltaToday website was subjected to a cyberattack, with the phrase 'Lillu King#Libya' appearing across its pages. Separately, John Cassar has been charged with the murder of his mother and the attempted murder of his father in Mqabba, with an inspector testifying that Cassar confessed to killing both his parents.
Furthermore, a recent MaltaToday survey indicates that population growth and traffic congestion are the primary concerns for Maltese citizens. On a more positive note, Malta's second electricity interconnector with Sicily is nearing completion, with 92% of the land cable already installed.
