In a significant legal development in Malta, former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, along with other high-ranking officials including current Deputy Prime Minister Chris Fearne and Central Bank of Malta Governor Edward Scicluna, have been charged with various criminal offenses. These charges, which include bribery, criminal association, fraud, and misappropriation of funds, are linked to a hospital privatization scandal. This marks the first time in Malta's political history that a former prime minister is facing such serious charges in court. The case has been assigned to Magistrate Rachel Montebello.
