Good morning.

The following are the top stories in Malta's newspapers.

The Sunday Times of Malta says lack of protection is leading to people fearing to file reports on corruption. It also reports that Enemalta is expected to make a €40m profit this year and that Air Malta's strategy has been blamed for its losses.

MaltaToday says phone data on a car bomb at Msida a few months ago could yield links to the suspects in the Daphne Caruana Galizia assassination. It also reports that Maltese pupils have slipped down in the global reading index. 

Il-Mument says two of the suspects in the Caruana Galizia case had a heated argument three days before the arrest. The newspaper also focuses on today's fund-raising marathon by the PN, quoting Adrian Delia as saying the PN would be a positive party sustained by the people.

The Malta Independent reports that the Bill on the use of medical cannabis completely rules out smoking. It also says that investigators in the Caruana Galizia murder would not object to a pardon if names of the masterminds are coughed up.

KullĦadd says PN leader Adrian Delia used to make €210 per hour when he worked as a lawyer, according to evidence in court. This was a time when he did not pay his income tax, the newspaper says. It also looks forward to today's fund-raising marathon by the Labour Party. 

It-Torċa says there has been a recent increase in the number of 'abusive' VAT receipts and gives various reasons, including a shortage of manpower in the inspectorate service.

Illum focuses on a 'string of thefts' which one of the Caruana Galizia suspects is believed to have been involved in.
