Yorgen Fenech trial enters 22nd day as witness accuses defence lawyer of meeting Keith Schembri

In Malta, proceedings in the trial of businessman Yorgen Fenech reached their 22nd day, marked by testimony in which a witness accused a defense lawyer of meeting with Keith Schembri, the former chief of staff to the prime minister.

The court developments unfold alongside continued scrutiny of domestic infrastructure. The opposition Nationalist Party argued that recurring power cuts undermine national efforts to build high-quality tourism, while environmental organization Flimkien għal Ambjent Aħjar stressed that grid failures demonstrate an urgent requirement for climate-resilient building standards. Additionally, police officials revealed new details on a recent shooting siege in St Julian's, where two officers were briefly trapped during the standoff.
