Judge Aaron Bugeja drawn by lot to preside over trial of 3 accused with Daphne Caruana Galizia’s murder

Newly-appointed judge Aaron Bugeja has been drawn by lot to preside over the trial of the three men accused of having killed journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.

The Attorney General on Tuesday filed a bill of indictment formally charging them with the murder.

Vincent Muscat and Degiorgio brothers Alfred and George were arrested in December 2017 and have spent the past 19 months in and out of court as prosecutors presented evidence they had compiled against them.

Mr Justice Bugeja, who was promoted from magistrate to judge in April, had found no evidence supporting the claim that a company opened in Panama by the name of Egrant was owned by Prime Minister Joseph Muscat’s wife, Michelle.
