JUSTICE delayed, justice denied was the key
takeaway message during a delegation visit to
Malta from MEPs in the European Parliament's
civil liberties committee.
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.
"It's shocking that in four and a half-years since
the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia no justice
has been served," she pointed out. "The alleged
mastermind has not yet been convicted."
In't Veld turned to a similar murder case in Slo-

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
