Malta responsible for Daphne Caruana Galizia murder: Inquiry

Maltese government failed to recognise risks to journalist’s life and take reasonable steps to avoid them, inquiry concludes.

An independent inquiry into the car bomb murder of Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia has found the state responsible for her killing because it had created a “culture of impunity”. The inquiry’s 437-page report, published on Thursday, said officials had failed to adequately protect Caruana Galizia from threats to her life prior to her death in October 2017. Caruana Galizia was killed in a huge explosion as she drove out of her home.
