VALLETTA (Reuters) - The family of murdered Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia has demanded an investigation after a lawyer in the prosecutor's office resigned and turned up in court within hours to represent the man suspected of masterminding her murder.

Caruana Galizia was killed by a car bomb in October 2017 while investigating allegations of corruption by top officials. Three men were accused in December 2017 of setting off the bomb, and in November 2019 wealthy businessman Yorgen Fenech was accused of conspiring to commit the murder.
