The Times of Malta leads with data sourced from the EU Kids Online 2020 survey, which has revealed that 1 in 5 Maltese children have reported receiving requests of a sexual nature over the internet while 25% have received sexually explicit messages. This is the highest rate in the countries covered by the survey. The same study, which interviewed 9 to 16-year-old across 19 European countries, found that Maltese children sent over three hours a day on the Internet.

The Times of Malta reports that Magistrate Rachel Montebello, who is presiding over the compilation of evidence against Yorgen Fenech, the man accused of commissioning the Caruana Galizia murder, has requested the redrafting of the transcripts of the secretly recorded conversations, as the originals were deemed “inaccurate”.
