Last Wednesday, our site exclusively exposed the disgraceful fact that Lawyer Roberto Montalto was hauled before Magistrate Astrid May Grima under arrest.
Magistrate Astrid May Grima
Yes, once again, Daphne Caruana Galizia’s so-called legal defender stands accused of assaulting his partner. The victim is a thirty-year-old woman. Dr. Roberto Montalto was released on bail.
This site has been sounding alarms for months—warning that this poor woman, repeatedly battered and bruised, has not been receiving the protection she so desperately needs from the police. But what do you know—the authorities have neglected their duties, and history is repeating itself.

What’s beyond comprehension is the deafening silence from Francesca Fenech Conti of Women for Women and the Daphne Foundation about Montalto’s outrageous behavior. These groups, often the loudest voices in the room, have suddenly been struck mute.
Roberto Montalto
Why? Because Montalto was the lawyer for Daphne Caruana Galizia? Since when does that give him a free pass to brutalize a woman without consequence?
Roberto Montalto—a lawyer with a questionable lifestyle and a sinister pattern of violence—is being repeatedly reported to the police for abuse and even suspected drug entanglements. And yet, these so-called advocates for justice and women’s rights, the Daphne Foundation and Women for Women, have done nothing. No protests. No stands in defense of this woman. Absolutely nothing. Is she less worthy of justice than anyone else?
Just this week, another vile act of violence occurred. Montalto proved his cowardice yet again. Let’s not mince words: it takes a truly pathetic excuse for a man to lay hands on a woman.
We at this site won’t rest. We’ll keep hammering on this point: this victim must be shielded from Roberto Montalto, a dangerous individual whose rightful place is in Corradino prison. Enough is enough!
