The Head of the Security Services, the Commissioner of Police and the police homicide squad’s lead investigator are to testify in the constitutional case filed by the lawyer for the men accused of the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia, attacking phone tap evidence.
Mr. Justice Toni Abela heard submissions this morning, after accepting a request by the Caruana Galizia family to be intervenors in the case.
Lawyer William Cuschieri asked the court to exhibit transcripts of statements by the three accused found in the acts of the compilation of evidence before magistrate Claire Stafrace Zammit.
In previous sittings, Cuschieri, had challenged the authorities to produce telephone intercepts that the prosecution had “bragged about” throughout the compilation of evidence. The intercepts had led the police to Degiorgio, his brother Alfred Degiorgio and Vincent Muscat, as the alleged murderers.
Cuschieri requested that the Head of the Malta Security Services, the Commissioner of Police and Inspector Keith Arnaud testify in the constitutional case. The court fixed dates in November for two full-day sittings to hear their testimony.
