The statement came as a reaction to the Committee to Protect Journalists' call to the Attorney General, calling on Europol to set up a joint investigation team to sup- port judicial proceedings linked to the as- sassination of Caruana Galizia. "Europol's role started in the initial stag- es of the investigation and continues to this day," the police said. The police also said that a number of people have been arraigned as part of the investigation. The letter, signed by 11 NGOs working on press freedom, said it was "deeply con- cerned that legal proceedings around the murder have not yet delivered full justice for Caruana Galizia or her family." The NGOs said that Europol's involve- ment could provide valuable support and help secure a successful result in the case. It sights that in Slovakia, Europol assis- tance was praised for its "contribution to the legal proceedings in the case of mur- dered journalist Jan Kuciak." Former Tumas Group head and alleged murder mastermind Yorgen Fenech was arrested while trying to flee the coun- try aboard his yacht 'Gio' in November. Fenech has since also claimed that he has recordings and a contract implicating for- mer OPM Chief of Staff Keith Schembri. Three people, George Degiorgio, Alfred Degiorgio and Vince Muscat, have also been charged with the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia. 'More government disinformation' – Matthew Caruana Galizia Matthew Caruana Galizia has denied the statement by police, calling it "more government disinformation". He said that the press freedom organ- izations called for Malta to start and join what's called a 'Joint Investigation Team'. The joint investigation team would stem from a formal agreement between Euro- pean police forces to cooperate. "Europol agents are involved in the fo- rensic side of investigations in Malta but that doesn't mean that the investigations are working successfully across borders," Caruana Galizia said in a Facebook post. Police say Europol assistance in Caruana Galizia investigation 'never ceased'
