597 | Daphne Caruana Galizia murder: protesters demand resignations, June 9, 2020


Protestors gathered outside the Home Affairs Ministry on Tuesday, demanding resignations. The protestors chanted "mafia", "out", and "complicit", amid shouts for Home Affairs Minister Byron Camilleri to step down.

The protest was held after Times of Malta on Sunday reported how former police commissioner Lawrence Cutajar was named in previously unheard recordings discovered by the team investigating Daphne Caruana Galizia’s assassination.

Cutajar resigned as police chief shortly after Robert Abela took over as prime minister in January. After stepping down, Cutajar was given a government consultancy job.That contract was suspended on Monday after Times of Malta’s report.


The announcement of the suspension came just a few hours after self-confessed murder middleman Melvin Theuma testified in court on the matter.

Cutajar concedes having met a close associate of Theuma’s during the murder investigation, but insists he did nothing to jeopardise the investigation.

During Monday’s sitting, Theuma also testified how he had been tipped off about his arrest and believed the information had come from former deputy commissioner Silvio Valletta. Valletta has denied the allegations.
