Malta government chief of staff Keith Schembri resigned on Tuesday, Prime Minister Joseph Muscat told reporters, as police continued their investigation into the 2017 murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, APA reports citing Reuters.
Police sources said Schembri was assisting them in the case. Schembri himself made no immediate comment.
Schembri had been facing pressure to resign because of his alleged financial ties to businessman Yorgen Fenech, who was detained last week as a person of interest in the murder probe.
The alleged murder plot middleman Melvin Theuma was granted a presidential pardon on Monday in return for information he had given about the case.
