Protesters accused the Prime Minister on Sunday of knowing who owned mystery company Macbridge, as they marked the 14th month since journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was assassinated. Occupy Justice activists stood on the steps of the Office of the Prime Minister at Castille and held up cards reading “Who owns Macbridge?”
Ms Caruana Galizia was murdered in a car bomb explosion exactly 14 months ago, on October 16, 2017. Macbridge was named in leaked documents as one of two companies which would be sending funds to offshore companies owned by minister Konrad Mizzi and chief of staff Keith Schembri. A joint investigation by Times of Malta and Reuters subsequently revealed that the other of the companies, 17 Black, is owned by Electrogas consortium director and Tumas Group CEO Yorgen Fenech.
Ms Caruana Galizia was the first person to report on 17 Black’s existence and its links to offshore companies owned by minister Mizzi and Mr Schembri.
In a statement, Occupy Justice accused the Prime Minister of being complicit in wrongdoing.
“Seven months ago we asked the Prime Minister who owns 17 Black, the other company feeding money into the accounts of his top aides.
