Yorgen Fenech privately backed the public campaign to have Daphne Caruana Galizia's laptops returned from Germany because their contents would cast suspicion on everyone she had written about, according to recorded conversations.

"It's a shame that they didn't bring them," Fenech is heard saying on a covert recording made by Melvin Theuma, the middleman who arranged the journalist's murder. "For me it's better, personally."

"The laptops confuse people's minds," Fenech says. "Didn't she write against the whole of Malta? Whatever had to come out has come out. Don't forget that the laptops were always in their hands."

This was one of eight recorded conversations played to jurors in court - these tapes covered discussions on key issues including the hitmen, the investigation into Theuma, and burner phones along with references to politicians including former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat and former Minister Chris Cardona

Brought to you by our transcribers in court, the latest episode of The Trial Against Yorgen Fenech explores Keith Schembri’s testimony, including:

17 Black and Panama, the infamous photo with Melvin Theuma, the phone that was never recovered, Schembri's account that Fenech "indicated" to him that he was behind the murder, and his allegation that Fenech's lawyers tried to bribe a witness into favourable testimony.
