Yorgen Fenech testifies in his own trial

Yorgen Fenech testifies in his own trial

A version of this show with English subtitles will be published on the Times of Malta YouTube channel.

Yorgen Fenech is the man in the dock. This past week, he was the man on the witness stand, too.

The Tumas Group heir and business magnate spent four days testifying in his own trial, as he seeks to defend himself from charges of complicity in the murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.

Fenech said many things while testifying. Some we had heard before. Others were new. His central argument - that he is being framed by his old friend Keith Schembri and taxi driver Melvin Theuma - remained unchanged throughout.

In this Times Talk episode, Mark Laurence Zammit and Clara Farrugia go over what Fenech said, what prosecutors asked and what jurors will have to think about after hearing from the man at the heart of this criminal trial.
