๐Ÿ“œ Appeal

The Attorney General has filed an appeal against the recent acquittal of businessman Yorgen Fenech in the Daphne Caruana Galizia murder case. This significant development in the high-profile legal proceedings is strongly supported by Matthew Caruana Galizia and his family. Minister for Justice, Research and Innovation Clifton Grima has also commented on the Fenech verdict, emphasizing that justice should not be arbitrary. Meanwhile, heavy rainfall has led to widespread flooding, notably in Msida Creek, causing disruptions to traffic and daily life. The nation is also preparing for a new โ‚ฌ2 handling fee for non-EU parcel imports, a measure separate from an existing EU-wide duty. Additionally, Malta has been noted for issuing the highest number of new residence permits to non-EU citizens relative to its population. Prime Minister Robert Abela engaged with the UN General Assembly in New York, where he highlighted inclusive economic growth, trade resilience, and a human-centred approach to artificial intelligence. Domestically, a fund to compensate victims of construction damages is slated to launch after November 1.
