Full justice will not be served if Daphne’s killers receive a presidential pardon, the slain journalist’s family said today.

The family was reacting to the news that brothers George and Alfred Degiorgio have asked for a pardon in return for naming a former minister who was a “mastermind” in the murder, as well as another middleman.

They told President George Vella the information they can provide is “credible and not hearsay.”

They also said they are willing to name an ex-minister and a sitting minister who were involved in an attempted robbery and attempted murder, as well as information on other serious crimes.

“Full justice can only be served if Daphne’s killers receive the punishment that fits their crime - the murder of a mother by criminals who were willing to blow up her family with her to make sure she is killed,” the family said in a statement.

“Justice for Daphne Caruana Galizia means her murderers should not be pardoned. Past crimes should not be cashed as currency for killers to buy their way out of justice for murder. Crimes should be solved and criminals brought to justice, but not at the expense of denying Daphne the justice she deserves. She has already given too much for that.”
