The Nationalist Party said the government blocked a parliamentary debate on implementing the Daphne Caruana Galizia inquiry recommendations. In Safi, developers submitted plans for 200 apartments in the local fields. The town council pointed out this would increase the population by a third.
A court ordered Steward to pay €154,000 in outstanding hospital catering bills. Mario Degiorgio, whose brothers assassinated Caruana Galizia, was convicted of money laundering. A Polish tourist pleaded not guilty to a St Julian's murder; police noted he was already a fugitive in Poland.
Electricity returned after the Electrogas power station tripped. Police arrested eight people, seizing 20kg of heroin and 8kg of cocaine. The courts, meanwhile, are reportedly suffering "growing pains" as they attempt to integrate artificial intelligence.
