Trial examines funding behind Caruana Galizia assassination
Google News IE — Crime (en) reports on an analysis by the Global Initiative against Transnational Organized Crime (GI-TOC) examining the trial surrounding the murder of Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.
Caruana Galizia was killed in a car bomb attack in Malta in October 2017. She had been one of the country's most prominent journalists, known for her investigations into corruption and organised crime, including revelations connected to the Panama Papers.
The GI-TOC analysis centres on a core question raised by the ongoing trial: who ultimately paid for the murder. The proceedings have sought to establish not only the identities of the direct perpetrators but also those who commissioned and financed the killing.
Three men were convicted of carrying out the bombing. Legal proceedings against alleged masterminds have continued, with the trial drawing sustained international attention over questions of accountability at the highest levels of Maltese public and business life.
