VALLETTA - A wealthy businessman, who is the prime suspect in the murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, told a Malta court on Thursday he got regular tip-offs about the investigation from the government’s ex-chief of staff.
His testimony in a packed courtroom piled pressure on Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, who is a friend of Schembri, and raised further questions about possible government involvement in attempts to cover-up a crime that shocked the European Union. Fenech said Schembri had passed on information from briefings that chief investigator Keith Arnaud gave at Muscat’s office. This meant he knew swiftly about key breaks, including that his own phone had been tapped, Fenech said.
“The information used to be relayed by Keith Arnaud himself. Schembri used to say that he had a good relationship with Arnaud who kept him abreast with latest developments,” Fenech said.Arnaud made no immediate comment but the police last week issued a statement saying there was no reason for his removal and that the investigation was proving effective.
