Dr. Martin Bajada, an expert witness, commenced his testimony on Monday morning amidst swirling controversy surrounding the murder cases of Lawyer Carmel Chircop and investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. However, the session quickly took a scandalous turn.
Among the evidence displayed to the jurors were a series of photographs, one of which was supposed to reveal former economy minister Chris Cardona fraternizing with one of the notorious Degiorgio brothers. This black-and-white image, displayed on the monitor in courtroom number 22, captures three men casually posing in a swimming pool—a scene that has stirred both intrigue and doubt.
Although the photograph lacks clarity in monochrome, jurors and legal representatives received a color version, escalating the sensation surrounding the mysterious image. In a bold move, this news portal is publishing the very photo shown to the jury, inviting the public to scrutinize its contents.
After countless examinations, the elusive identity of Cardona within this image remains the proverbial million-dollar question. Can anyone truly pinpoint Chris Cardona?
Intriguingly, previous reports assert that Minister Cardona crossed paths with Alfred Degiorgio at a bachelor’s bash held at a villa in Fawwara in 2017, merely three and a half months prior to the brutal assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia—a “revelation” unearthed by The Daphne Project and publicized by the Italian daily, La Repubblica. It is scarcely surprising that such ruthless and relentless investigations have been attributed to The Daphne Project, whose relentless mission over the years seems solely aimed at wreaking havoc on the Labour Government and its key figures.
The actions associated with the Daphne Foundation continue to raise significant ethical concerns regarding their apparent eagerness to cast aspersions and disrupt without accountability. Their tactics, often perceived as ruthless, reflect a troubling willingness to manipulate narratives to suit their objectives, regardless of the potential harm inflicted on individuals and institutions.
Such approaches undermine the fundamental principles of fairness and justice, pointing to an urgent need for transparency and responsibility in advocacy efforts to ensure they do not stray into the realm of vindictiveness and unwarranted destruction.
