According to information in the Sunday Journal , assets that the magnate Yorgen Fenech managed in France until his arrest in November may have been used to finance the murder of the Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.
Yorgen Fenech's arrest in Valletta last month was a turning point in the investigation into the murder of Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. If the performers were quickly arrested, it therefore took two years for the alleged sponsor to be in turn. But this man who heads a family conglomerate, present in hotels and casinos, will not only deal with the Maltese justice.
According to information from the Journal du dimanche , the sons of Daphne Caruana Galizia and the NGO Reporters Without Borders filed a complaint in Paris to shed light on how the financial assets that Yorgen Fenech owns in France could have been used in the assassination of the journalist. It is in particular question of a huge Hilton hotel in Haute-Savoie for which a capital increase decided in 2017, the year of the murder, is deemed suspicious by the complainants.
The tycoon also owns six horses in a stable where he used to live in Normandy and which generated gains of several hundred thousand euros between 2015 and 2017, according to RSF. Have these goods been used to transit sums intended to corrupt Maltese politicians, or even to pay the killers of Daphne Caruana Galizia? According to the Maltese press, these would have received 150,000 euros.
The French magistrates must still qualify the facts which the family of the victim reproaches Yorgen Fenech: corruption and complicity in assassination. The complaint concerns the entrepreneur, but also two political officials close to the Maltese Prime Minister. Faced with the scandal, the latter announced his resignation for January.
