Meet Daphne Caruana Galizia, the journalist who led the Panama Papers investigation into corruption in Malta.
***
A blogger whose posts often attracted more readers than the combined circulation of the country’s newspapers, Caruana Galizia was recently described by Politico as a ‘one-woman WikiLeaks’.
To John Dalli, a former European commissioner whom she helped bring down in a tobacco lobbying scandal, Galizia is ‘a terrorist.’
To opposition MPs, she’s a political force of nature, one who fortunately has her guns aimed at the other side of the aisle.
‘She single-handedly brought the government to the verge of collapse,’ says one MP. ‘The lady has balls,’ says another.
Galizia’s mantra was simple: blog relentlessly about the ‘cronyism that is accepted as something normal here. I can’t bear to see people like that rewarded.’
