New Facts: Keith Arnaud testifies Theuma said Fenech summoned him
In court, the jury was told that Yorgen Fenech summoned Melvin Theuma to arrange Daphne Caruana Galizia’s killing, then pointed him to George Degiorgio in April 2017. The price was set at €150,000, split €30,000 upfront and €120,000 on completion, with a further €5,000 paid afterward as expenses. Theuma acted as the go‑between, transferring the funds to the bombers.
Jurors also heard that after the arrests, Mario Degiorgio collected more than €400,000 from Fenech to cover Alfred and George Degiorgio’s legal fees. The payments, prosecutors said, link Fenech both to commissioning the murder and to bankrolling the hitmen once they were in custody.
