He says Dutch forensic experts were informed about the evidence collected.Borg’s testimony is brief, with the court noting that he will return to testify later on specific forensic documents. What happened yesterday?Yesterday’s proceedings centred on forensic and eyewitness evidence as the prosecution continued presenting its case. Dutch forensic specialists and a Europol expert walked jurors through the analysis of data extracted from Daphne Caruana Galizia’s phone and cloud accounts, explaining that their work identified several investigative scenarios that warranted further examination.During cross-examination, the defence focused on references to Keith Schembri and Chris Cardona contained within the Europol report, arguing that they featured in potential investigative scenarios while Yorgen Fenech’s name did not. The expert stressed, however, that the report was intended to generate investigative leads rather than identify suspects.The court also heard from first responders, police officers and residents who described the immediate aftermath of the car bomb and recalled seeing suspicious vehicles parked near the Bidnija area in the weeks leading up to the assassination. Proceedings adjourned after further testimony from officers involved in the initial stages of the investigation.The prosecution is being led by lawyers Godwin Cini, Anthony Vella and Danika Vella from the Office of the Attorney General, assisted by Assistant Police Commissioner Keith Arnaud and Inspector Kurt Zahra.
