A widespread power outage temporarily affected Malta and Gozo today, leading to criticism from the Nationalist Party regarding the government's communication and preparedness. Separately, police conducted a major drug bust, apprehending eight individuals and seizing significant quantities of heroin and cocaine. In ongoing legal proceedings, the suspect in the recent St. Julian's homicide pleaded not guilty to murder charges, with authorities revealing he is also wanted by Polish police for serious crimes. Meanwhile, Mario Degiorgio, brother of the convicted Daphne Caruana Galizia hitmen, was found guilty of money laundering. Additionally, Amo Frank Kwaku is currently facing a jury trial for a 2021 killing in Marsa. Politically, the Nationalist Party has accused the government of obstructing a parliamentary debate on implementing recommendations from the Caruana Galizia inquiry. In other developments, the Steward company has been ordered to pay €154,000 in outstanding hospital catering bills, and a Transport Malta official is reportedly facing charges related to a maritime fines racket.
