The PN said Friday that two months have passed and the government has yet to take action over the alleged 'secret meetings' between a prison official and Yorgen Fenech, the man charged with the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia.

In a statement, PN MP Darren Carabott said that this week marked two months since it was revealed that secret unauthorised meetings were organised at Corradino prison between the Head of Strategy of the prison Svetlana Muscat, Fenech, and third parties outside of prison.

Fenech, the former Tumas Group CEO who is awaiting trial for the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia, allegedly met Easygas director Reuben Farrugia in the office of Muscat.

"During these two months, there has been silence and a total absence of responsibility or action from Home Affairs Minister Byron Camilleri regarding what is happening in the prison," Carabott said.

He said that the PN is reminding Camilleri about this case that was revealed by journalists.

"We remind him that we have not forgotten that no one has yet taken responsibility for what happened, no one has spoken to provide updates on any developments (if there were any) regarding this case, and also that no judicial steps have been taken to assure the Maltese public that the rule of law exists in the Corradino prison," Carabott said.
