A handshake, €150,000 in cash and a coded text: Maltese prosecutors on Thursday set out their case against a tycoon accused of ordering the murder of a prominent investigative journalist.
Yorgen Fenech is accused of masterminding the 2017 killing of Daphne Caruana Galizia in a case that shook the island nation and brought down a previous government.
After the defendant attempted to escape on his yacht in 2019 and many procedural delays, Fenech's trial finally began on Wednesday.
