Melvin Theuma

Melvin Theuma is a central figure in the ongoing investigation and trial related to the 2017 murder of Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. He is reportedly a self-confessed hitman and has been granted a presidential pardon in exchange for his testimony. Theuma's statements are crucial for the prosecution, as he is expected to provide evidence implicating businessman Yorgen Fenech, who is accused of orchestrating the assassination. Recent court proceedings have focused on Fenech's alleged actions, including claims that he paid over €400,000 in legal fees for the convicted hitmen. Theuma's testimony is therefore highly significant, as it forms a cornerstone of the case against Fenech, aiming to shed light on the alleged masterminds behind the murder and bring further accountability.
