马耳他富商约根·芬奇因涉嫌参与2017年反腐记者达芙妮·卡鲁瓦纳·加利齐亚被汽车炸弹暗杀一案，被陪审团裁定无罪1。陪审团以8比1的多数投票驳回了针对芬奇的两项指控：参与自愿杀人罪和意图犯罪的结伙罪1。检控方曾指控这位马耳他最富有商人之一通过中间人梅尔文·特乌玛支付15万欧元进行谋杀，并曾要求法院对芬奇判处终身监禁1。
卡鲁瓦纳·加利齐亚于2017年10月在汽车炸弹中丧生，年仅53岁1。事件发生近9年后才进行审判，历时两个月，审判期间揭示了芬奇广泛的政治人脉网络1。该案件在马耳他引发重大政治震荡，导致前总理约瑟夫·穆斯卡特及其两名部长和幕僚长随后下台1。芬奇的家族拥有两家希尔顿酒店并在马耳他电力站持股1。这一审判结果引发了受害者家属和新闻自由倡导者的强烈失望1。
A jury has found Maltese businessman Yorgen Fenech not guilty of involvement in the 2017 car bombing death of anti-corruption journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia 1. Fenech faced two charges: complicity in voluntary homicide and conspiracy to commit a crime 1. The jury voted 8 to 1 to reject all accusations against him, delivering a verdict that disappointed the victim's family and press freedom advocates 1.
Prosecutors had alleged that Fenech paid €150,000 through intermediary Melvin Theuma to arrange the journalist's murder 1. Caruana Galizia, aged 53, was killed in an explosion on October 16, 2017 1. The prosecution had sought a life sentence for Fenech, one of Malta's wealthiest business figures whose family owns two Hilton hotels and holds stakes in Malta's power station 1.
The trial, which lasted two months, revealed Fenech's extensive political connections and had broader political consequences, leading to the resignation of former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat along with two cabinet ministers and the chief of staff 1.
