Friends, the world has lost a terrific blogger and investigative journalist.
Daphne Caruana Galizia, a journalist who led the Panama Papers offshore tax evasion expose was killed today
when a bomb blew up her car. Investigative reporter Daphne Caruana Galizia -
dubbed a "one-woman WikiLeaks" - was killed as she was driving near
the village of Bidnija in northern Malta. She had filed a complaint to police a
fortnight ago after receiving personal threats to her safety, local media said.
Galizia ran a hugely popular blog relentlessly highlighting cases of alleged
corruption, often involving politicians from the Mediterranean island nation.
In Malta, she had led the coverage of the Panama
Papers, a leak of millions of legal documents last year detailing financial
details of offshore entities used by the rich and powerful to avoid tax.
Video today showed the burnt-out wreck of her car lying in a field
meters from the road.
Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, who faced
accusations of wrong-doing by Galizia
earlier this year, denounced her killing. He called it a "barbaric attack
on press freedom".
If anyone in Malta or elsewhere has pertinent information concerning Daphne's murder please feel free to contact "Your Watchman" You will be treated as a confidential source and your identity will be protected. I pray that Daphne is now in heaven with Yeshua, doing God's work. Sooner or later, Yeshua will avenge your murder!
