Daphne Caruana Galizia, Malta’s top investigative journalist, was
killed on Monday (16 October) when the car she was driving exploded
shortly after she left her home.
Caruana Galizia was a top gun when it came to exposing corruption in Malta and EURACTIV repeatedly quoted her articles and was in touch with her. Her blog, Running Commentary, was considered by many colleagues as the best source of information about her country.
The force of the blast that killed her reduced the car she was in to pieces and catapulted the journalist’s body into a nearby field, witnesses said. She leaves behind a husband and three sons. Local media say one of her sons heard the blast and rushed outside.
She was killed minutes after posting her last blogpost, following up on her investigations based on the Panama Papers.
Note EU-Digest: Our condolences to the family and what we hope will be a speedy arrest of the conspirators who planned and carried out this hideous crime.
