Sophie In't Veld, the chairperson of the rule of law working group in the committee, described Malta's judicial process as "excruciatingly slow", owing to a lack of visible investigation and prose- cution, during a press conference on Wednesday.

In't Veld turned to a similar murder case in Slo- vakia, where journalist Ján Kuciak was killed in 2018. She said that the murder case has since been closed, with the mastermind convicted. Some politicians that were the subject of Kuciak's investigative work have also been charged. "It can be done," she said. She acknowledged efforts from Maltese authori- ties to strengthen rule of law and combat corrup- tion, and noted cross-party efforts to implement Chairperson of the rule of law working group Sophie In't Veld (Photo: James Bianchi)
