Malta businessman arrested over journalist murder: police source

VALLETTA, Nov 20, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Malta police on Wednesday arrested a
businessman in connection with the 2017 murder of journalist Daphne Caruana
Galizia, a police source told AFP.

Maltese national Yorgen Fenech was detained on his yacht at dawn as he
tried to leave Malta the day after an alleged middleman was offered a pardon
if he identified the assassination’s mastermind, the source said.
