Malta government chief of staff Keith Schembri resigned, Prime Minister Joseph Muscat told reporters, as police continued their investigation into the 2017 murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia
The alleged murder plot middleman Melvin Theuma was granted a presidential pardon on Monday in return for evidence that could be used in court. Local media reported that he had handed over audio recordings.
Muscat is a close friend of Schembri and had repeatedly rejected calls to sack him when allegations of corruption surfaced several years ago. Schembri always denied wrongdoing.Three men are awaiting trial for setting off the bomb that killed Caruana Galizia, and police sources say the investigation into who actually ordered the killing has made big advances in the past week.
It is not known whether any funds actually changed hands. Schembri, who has many business interests, and Mizzi have always denied wrongdoing. “Muscat, who spent three years taking full responsibility for Schembri, must leave right now. He simply cannot be trusted to not obstruct justice. He has done so for too long,” Caruana Galizia’s son Matthew wrote on Twitter.
