DAPHNE Caruana Galizia had to
be gunned down by an AK-47 as-
sault rifle in an aborted 2015 plot
to kill her, Vince Muscat il-Koħħu
has testified.
He said the approach to mur-
der the journalist was first made
by lawyer David Gatt between
2014 and 2015, following which
George Degiorgio had to meet
former minister Chris Cardona.
In a comment to MaltaToday
Chris Cardona dismissed the
claims as "blatant lies and full of
inaccuracies, every single detail."
Muscat was testifying in the
compilation of evidence against
George and Alfred Degiorgio,
who stand accused of murder-
ing Caruana Galizia in October
2017.

Council proposes tunnel
beneath Mriehel bypass
KARL AZZOPARDI
FAST moving traffic along the Mrieħel by-
pass will be channelled into a tunnel below
the existing road, according to new plans
proposed by the Qormi council.
The proposal would see the existing sur-
face road transformed into a "green mile"
where low speed traffic can be directed to
neighbouring localities.
The tunnel will allow cars to travel unhin-
dered between the Mdina Road junction in
Attard (next to the Malta Financial Services
Authority offices) and the Marsa-Hamrun
bypass.
Slower moving traffic seeking entry into
the Mrieħel industrial estate – now known
as the Central Business District – will use
the surface road.
Infrastructure Malta proposed a flyover to ease
the flow of traffic on the Mriehel bypass
