Andrew Caruana Galizia, the son of murdered journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, gave an emotional testimony in court on Thursday, detailing his mother's final days and her intense focus on the Electrogas investigation.
During his testimony, Mr Caruana Galizia broke down as he described the last time he saw his mother before she was assassinated. He spoke about her dedication to her work, particularly her investigations into the Electrogas deal.
This testimony marked the conclusion of the prosecution's witness list in the murder trial against Yorgen Fenech, who is accused of commissioning the journalist's murder.
The court proceedings also saw the defence for Yorgen Fenech attempt to raise multiple legal points of order, which were described as efforts to disrupt the trial. These points included technical objections to the proceedings and the witness's testimony.
In related revelations during the hearing, it was stated that Siemens had deemed the Electrogas project a failure, a detail that emerged as part of the broader context of the journalist's investigations.
The trial continues as the court moves forward following the conclusion of the prosecution's evidence presentation.
