Nixtieq intenni g\u0127al darb’o\u0127ra li Arthur Azzopardi qed isostni li huwa ma rrinunzjax b\u0127ala avukat tal-klijent tieg\u0127u, li huwa wkoll xhud potenzjali tal-prosekuzzjoni kontra o\u0127rajn li huma suspettati bil-qtil ta’ Daphne Caruana Galizia, min\u0127abba s-sigurt\u00e0 personali tieg\u0127u.

Dan ming\u0127alih li g\u0127at-twettiq tal-assassinju ja\u0127tu kriminali mag\u0127rufa li g\u0127andhom kuntatti barra minn Malta. Qabel is-sena 1982 fil-li\u0121ijiet tal-Italja ma kontx issib tifsira tal-kliem “delitt mafju\u017c”. L-artiklu 416 tal-kodi\u010bi kriminali Taljan kien jitkellem biss dwar konfoffa kriminali li tapplika g\u0127al im\u0121ieba li hi manifestament kriminali.<\/a> Nie\u0127du e\u017cempju: ikun hemm \u0127amest ir\u0121iel li jiftehmu li jwettqu serqa minn bank, kull wie\u0127ed minnhom jing\u0127ata rwol, titwettaq is-serqa u mbag\u0127ad jaqsmu bejniethom l-flus li jkunu serqu. Dan huwa ka\u017c klassiku ta’ serq u ta’ kompli\u010bit\u00e0 f’serq u r-responsabbilt\u00e0 kriminali tkun trid tintrefa’ kemm minn dak li jsuq il-karrozza li tkun \u0127arrbet lill-\u0127allelin kif ukoll minn dak li jispara fuq il-pulizija li kien g\u0127assa mal-bieb.<\/p>\n I\u017cda l-mafja ma tmurx biex tisraq bank direttament.
