Daphne Caruana Galizia,
August 26, 1964 - October 16, 2017
The journalist who led the Panama Papers investigation into corruption in Malta was murdered on Monday in a car bomb near her home
Caruana Galizia, 53, ran a hugely popular blog relentlessly highlighting cases of alleged high-level corruption among politicians across Malta’s party lines.
“There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate,”
she wrote in a post published barely half an hour before the bomb exploded.
Her most recent revelations pointed the finger at Malta’s prime minister, Joseph Muscat, and two of his closest aides, connecting offshore companies linked to the three men with the sale of Maltese passports and payments from the government of Azerbaijan.
Sad Day For Democracy !
