A court in Malta makes a decision. The jury sets Yorgen Fenech free. He is a rich man. He is not guilty of the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia.

Daphne Caruana Galizia was a famous journalist. She wrote about corruption in Malta. In the year 2017 she died by a bomb in her car. This crime made many people very angry.

The state attorney accuses Fenech. He should pay for the murder. The jury votes with 8 to 1 for freedom. The verdict is a big surprise for many people.

Fenech speaks in court. He never orders the murder. His lawyers blame other people. The police do not check politicians enough.

Other men have punishment before. 3 men build the bomb. They are already in prison. Fenech was the last accused man in this case.
