Malta: Supporters Mark Anniversary of Journalist's Assassination
----------------------------------------------------------------

In Malta, supporters and loved ones of Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana
Galizia gathered on Tuesday to commemorate one year since her murder by
an unknown assailant. Galizia was a well-known investigative journalist
who reported on corruption at the highest levels of the Maltese
government, including tax evasion, nepotism and money laundering. She
faced personal and legal threats, harassment and arrests because of her
work. The investigation into Galizia's murder has been criticized for
its lack of independence and efficiency. Her son Matthew Galizia said,
"It appears that there is a complete cover-up and a complete lack of
will to investigate the motive for the assassination and the people who
ordered it." The last words Galizia wrote were "There are crooks
everywhere, the situation is desperate."
