| 2017-10-17 |
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A Maltese investigative journalist who exposed her island nation’s links to offshore tax havens through the leaked Panama Papers was killed Monday when a bomb went kaboom!in her car, Malta’s Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said. Daphne Caruana Galizia, 53, had just driven away from her home in Mosta, a town outside Malta’s capital of Valletta, when the bomb went off, sending the vehicle’s wreckage spiraling over a wall and into a field. Muscat says Caruana Galizia’s death resulted from a "barbaric attack" that also amounted to an assault on freedom of expression. He described her as "was one of my harshest critics, on a political and personal level," as he denounced her slaying. Politico named Caruana Galizia as one of 28 Europeans who are "shaping, shaking and stirring" Europe. She revealed that Muscat’s wife, Michelle, as well as Muscat’s energy minister and the government’s chief-of-staff, held companies in Panama by looking into the 2016 document leak. Muscat and his wife deny they held such companies. |
