Malta's ex-PM Muscat faces corruption charges in court
His former chief of staff Keith Schembri and former health minister Konrad Mizzi faced the same charges and also pleaded not guilty.
Muscat's arraignment came weeks after a four-year inquiry, instigated by rule-of-law activist group Repubblika, said it had uncovered foul play in how his government had handled a four billion euro ($4.35 billion) contract for the management of three hospitals.
Caruana Galizia had investigated the hospitals deal and was killed in a car bomb explosion in 2017. Her death and subsequent investigations shocked Europe, raising questions about the rule of law in Malta, the smallest EU member state.
Muscat resigned as prime minister in January 2019 after media revealed that he and Schembri had ties with Yorgen Fenech, a businessman who is awaiting trial for complicity in the murder of Galizia.

Muscat among people reassured by Fenech that messages had been deleted – Repubblika
It emerged over the past few days that the 17 Black owner had lost his mobile phone while visiting the United States late in 2018. He had then messaged several people, including Konrad Mizzi, telling them that he had “deleted Whatsapp.”

Daphne Caruana Galizia: Malta businessman charged with complicity in murder

He was identified last year as being the owner of a mysterious Dubai-registered company, 17 Black.
The investigation into Caruana Galizia's death has rocked the island's government.
Prime Minister Joseph Muscat is under pressure to resign.
His chief aide, Keith Schembri, quit this week amid reports he was being questioned by police, while Tourism Minister Konrad Mizzi also resigned and Economy Minister Chris Cardona took the decision to suspend himself.
Caruana Galizia had written about 17 Black eight months before her death, alleging it had links to both Keith Schembri and Konrad Mizzi.
