Heroes of our time: Daphne Caruana Galizia Painting

Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese journalist, writer and anti-corruption activist. In particular, she focussed on investigative journalism, reporting on government corruption and misconduct, nepotism, money laundering and links between the Maltese online gambling industry and organized crime. From 2016 she reported about connections between Panama and members of the government, including the Prime Minister and his wife, the chief of staff and a minister. Daphne was frequently intimidated for her work and opinions; from phone calls and notes pinned on her front door to her house being set on fire while the family was sleeping inside. On 16 October 2016, Daphne was assassinated by a car bomb. The investigation of her death has been slow, but under pressure of her family, the people of Malta, free press organizations and the European parliament that demand justice, people were arrested, among which a prominent Maltese businessman, and it led to the resignation of Malta’s Prime Minister. In the mean time, a consortium of 45 independent journalists published ‘The Daphne Project’, a collaboration to complete her investigative work.
