Daphne Caruana Galizia murder
suspect Yorgen Fenech denied bail
KURT SANSONE & NICOLE MEILAK
MURDER suspect Yorgen Fenech has been denied
bail with the court ruling that there exists the possi-
bility of tampering with evidence.
The ruling was delivered on Tuesday by Magis-
trate Rachel Montebello, who is hearing the com-
pilation of evidence against Fenech, who stands
accused of masterminding the murder of Daphne
Caruana Galizia.
Montebello turned down Fenech's request for bail,
insisting that the accused did not appear to have
acted on his own, investigations were ongoing and
there were other people considered to
be persons of interest indicated by
the suspect himself.
Magistrate Rachel Montebello
denies Yorgen Fenech's
request for bail, saying there is
a real fear of tampering with
evidence and absconding
