Malta's government must bear responsibility for creating an "atmosphere of impunity" that contributed to the murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, an independent inquiry has found.
Caruana Galizia, a leading Maltese anti-corruption journalist, was killed in October 2018 when a bomb in her rented car was detonated by a remote-controlled device on a country lane near her home. Her family had long argued she was assassinated because of her work uncovering alleged corruption in Malta's government, and her death sparked a political crisis in the southern European country. Vincent Muscat, one of the three suspects accused of her murder, pleaded guilty in February.
