๐Ÿ”ช Homicide

Authorities are investigating a new homicide in St. Julian's following the discovery of a 31-year-old man found dead after an argument, with an arrest already made. This incident marks a significant new criminal investigation for the country. Meanwhile, the nation faces a stark fiscal reality as Clyde Caruana, Minister for Finance, informed stakeholders that no funds are available for new spending, urging against further wish lists. Separately, pressure continues to mount on Johann Buttigieg, Executive Chairperson of the Planning Authority, with activists intensifying their calls for his removal amid allegations of corruption related to past dealings. Further domestic news includes a Transport Malta official reportedly facing charges in a maritime fines racket, a demonstration in Valletta advocating for the decriminalisation of abortion, and Labour Party MP Clint Azzopardi Flores suggesting bipartisan talks on phasing out energy subsidies.
