The trial of two brothers charged in the car-bomb assassination of a Maltese journalist who investigated corruption in the tiny island nation is under way, nearly five years after the killing sent shockwaves across Europe.

George Degiorgio, 59, and Alfred Degiorgio, 57, are charged with having set the bomb that blew up Daphne Caruana Galizia’s car as she drove near her home on October 16 2017.
