Companies Linked to Convicted Bomb Supplier in Daphne Caruana Galizia Case Moved Millions — Despite Asset Freeze

This report outlines long-running Maltese investigations into the Agius family, including Europol’s 2018 characterization of the brothers as key figures in regional organized crime, a 2013 interception of contraband cigarettes that ended in acquittals, and a 2012 heroin smuggling case involving a controlled delivery that ultimately collapsed when the witness refused to testify; multiple asset freeze orders were issued and later lifted following acquittals due to insufficient evidence.
