Daphne Galizia

Daphne Galizia

Daphne Anne Caruana Galizia (née Vella; 26 August 1964 – 16 October 2017) was a Maltese journalist, writer, and anti-corruption activist, who reported on political events in Malta. In particular, she focused on investigative reporting into government corruption, nepotism, patronage, allegations of money laundering, links between Malta’s online gaming industry with organised crime, and oil smuggling cartels. Caruana Galizia's national and international reputation was built on her regular reporting of misconduct by Maltese politicians and politically exposed persons. For decades, she refused to give up on her reporting despite multiple threats, intimidation, lawsuits and attacks. Caruana Galizia was arrested by the Malta Police Force on two occasions.
