Schembri paid over €75,000 for Caruana Galizia murder, Fenech told investigators 17.08.2026

MaltaToday

During a court session on Monday, Inspector Kurt Zahra testified that Yorgen Fenech initially withheld information about Keith Schembri to protect their close friendship. However, Fenech later alleged that Schembri provided €75,000 to €80,000 for the murder, with the money handed to Fenech in a Reebok bag. Fenech claimed the murder plot originated with Melvin Theuma, who approached Schembri and received a "Go ahead" response. Fenech also alleged that Schembri financed an earlier, unsuccessful murder plot in 2014, paying €30,000.
