Daphne Caruana Galizia
Running Commentary
Malta
Daphne Caruana Galizia, 53, was the most famous investigative journalist in Malta when a remote-controlled bomb planted in her car exploded, killing her minutes after she left her home. Caruana Galizia's popular blog Running Commentary uncovered government corruption, organized crime and a counterfeit passport ring. In 2016, her reporting on political cronyism based on the Panama Papers -- leaked law firm documents -- rocked Malta's ruling elite. She had received death threats for years. Her home had been torched twice and family pets had been poisoned, stabbed and shot. But Caruana Galizia continued her fierce reporting. Journalists from around the world teamed up to continue her work and uncovered a conspiracy to kill her. Three men were charged in her death. |
