But I can do it in five...' PAGES 14-15 KURT SANSONE IT is unclear whether the magis- trate tasked with Daphne Carua- na Galizia's murder inquiry had followed on a police request to secure the journalist's laptop. Magistrate Anthony Vella has confirmed that the police did file a court application asking him to take posses- sion of the laptop and any informa- tion on it that may have been useful to the in- vestigation. H o w e v e r , when asked by M a l t a To d a y whether he did ask the family to hand over the laptop, Vella insisted he could not an- swer. "I cannot answer these q u e s t i o n s because the investigation from my end is still pending," he said. Sources told MaltaToday that in the days after the murder, the police filed a court application asking the magistrate to take the journalist's laptop in his posses- sion after they realised that the one collected from the Caruana Galizia household was an old one. Confronted by this information, Vella did not deny it. Magistrate can't say whether he asked Daphne Caruana Galizia's family for her laptop BICC chairman Charles Buhagiar allowed wife to use government BMW for three years while he leased another official car PAUL COCKS FORMER Labour MP Charles Buhagiar, the prime minister's advisor on capital projects, is the subject of an inquiry after it emerged that he passed on to his wife an official vehicle assigned to him as executive chairman of the government's Build- ing Industry Consultative Council. MaltaToday has con- firmed that the office of the permanent secretary within the Ministry for Transport and Infrastruc- ture has launched an in- ternal investigation into the fact that the former Labour minister gave his government car to his wife to use, leading to BICC having to lease a second car for his own use.
