A Maltese court sentenced Robert Agius to life in prison last week for supplying military-grade explosives to hitmen who murdered journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, bringing to an end a six-week trial that has gripped this Mediterranean island country.
But the freezes were broadly worded, and only referred to Agius personally — the court did not name specific companies or assets linked to him that should be frozen. Now, reporters from OCCRP, Times of Malta, Amorpha Media, and IrpiMedia have learned that a firm he co-owned and another registered by his wife were able to buy and sell properties worth millions of euros during this period, including purchasing a 470,000-euro villa called “Le Chateau.”
These transfers occurred even as Maltese police investigated him for his role in the murder of Caruana Galizia, and for allegedly laundering drug proceeds through real estate. (Agius has never been charged with money laundering. Neither he nor his wife responded to requests for comment. Agius and his wife’s assets are legally separate, according to the terms of a 2010 prenuptial agreement.)
