Malta police arrest businessman Fenech in journalist murder case: sources
VALLETTA - Malta police arrested one of the country’s most prominent businessmen on Wednesday as part of an investigation into the murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, two sources said.
Prime Minister Joseph Muscat confirmed Fenech’s arrest but declined to say on what grounds he had been detained. “Had I not done that, today we might be talking of a person or persons of interest having potentially escaped,” he said. Eight months before her death, she wrote about a mysterious company in Dubai called 17 Black Limited, alleging it was connected to Maltese politicians, but offered no evidence.According to a December 2015 email, uncovered by Maltese financial regulators, secret Panama companies owned by then Energy Minister Konrad Mizzi and Muscat’s chief of staff, Keith Schembri, stood to receive payments of up to $2 million from 17 Black for unspecified services.
