The Daphne Caruana Galizia assassination and the latest developments surrounding the case are once again receiving international attention, with BBC News publishing a new Global Eye report focusing on the continuing search for answers and recent protests in Malta.The British broadcaster has turned its attention to the fallout from recent developments in the long-running murder case, bringing events in Malta before a global audience nearly nine years after the investigative journalist was assassinated.“No-one has been convicted for ordering the killing of Daphne Caruana Galizia, Malta’s most famous investigative journalist. Her family is still searching for answers,” BBC News said in its caption accompanying the report.“BBC Global Eye finds out why a recent development in the case has led to widespread protests in the country.”The broadcaster added that it had reached out to the Maltese Government for comment but had not received a response.The coverage marks another instance of the Caruana Galizia case attracting attention beyond Malta, with the journalist’s assassination and questions surrounding accountability having been closely followed by international media, press-freedom organisations and European institutions since 2017.The renewed international focus follows the acquittal of businessman Yorgen Fenech earlier this month.Fenech had stood trial accused of complicity in Caruana Galizia’s murder and criminal association. On 2nd September, a jury acquitted him on both charges by eight votes to one. He had consistently denied involvement in ordering the assassination.The verdict prompted protests in Malta, including a major demonstration in Valletta on 16th September, where people gathered in solidarity with Caruana Galizia’s family and renewed calls for justice and accountability.The case subsequently took another turn when Malta’s Attorney General filed an appeal against Fenech’s acquittal on 22nd September. The appeal concerns points of law and does not itself overturn the jury’s verdict or establish Fenech’s guilt.While individuals have been convicted for carrying out Caruana Galizia’s assassination and supplying the bomb used in the attack, nobody has been convicted of commissioning the murder.That unresolved question is at the centre of the BBC’s latest coverage and remains one of the most internationally scrutinised aspects of the case.The latest BBC coverage demonstrates that, almost nine years later, developments surrounding her assassination continue to resonate well beyond Malta.In a statement issued after the acquittal, the government acknowledged the court judgment and said evidence arising from the proceedings had been referred to ongoing magisterial inquiries and the Police Commissioner. It also appealed for caution while judicial and investigative processes remained ongoing.With the Attorney General’s appeal now pending and the case again featuring in major international media, the aftermath of Caruana Galizia’s assassination continues to place Malta in the international spotlight.For her family and supporters, the central question highlighted by the BBC remains unanswered: while those involved in carrying out the assassination have been convicted, no one has been convicted of ordering her killing.Credit: BBC Global Eye•
