⛓️ Jurors

A major escalation in the ongoing perjury investigation related to the Yorgen Fenech trial saw the arrest and questioning of several jurors. This development comes as thousands once again took to the streets of Valletta, protesting and demanding justice for the assassination of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. Meanwhile, the Planning Authority's CEO, Johann Buttigieg, remains under scrutiny, with an editorial questioning Prime Minister Robert Abela's decision to reinstate him amidst persistent calls for his removal. In other domestic news, the government has reintroduced its 62+ Government Savings Bond, offering a 3.5% interest rate to savers. Insurers are also advocating for the revival of roadside drug testing data and the re-establishment of the Road Safety Council, while the state has been ordered to pay €143,000 for a rights breach concerning a Fgura police station property.
