A Homicide Squad inspector has confirmed that several senior Electrogas officers are not being investigated in relation to the murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, as he defended the 2019 decision to release former Electrogas Director Yorgen Fenech on police bail before charging him with complicity in the murder. Inspector Zahra explained that at the time, his squad had been juggling multiple related investigations and also Melvin Theuma’s request for a pardon in exchange for information. “It was not an investigation which we could conclude in 48 hours and so we had to resort to police bail,” Zahra said. Electrogas Consortium players 'not investigated about Caruana Galizia murder'Repeating a question also posed earlier by Mercieca, the parte civile lawyer moved on, asking Zahra whether he was investigating other main Electrogas consortium players, namely Kathrin Halpin, Salman Rahman, Hayal Ahmadzeda and Turab Musayev in connection with the murder. She asked Zahra about Turab Musayev, an Azerbaijani-born, naturalised Scottish national, who Fenech was in contact with.
