A Maltese investigative journalist who alleged Malta’s Prime Minister and top associates were using Panamanian companies to launder money died in a car bomb explosion on Monday, Oct. 16.

Now her son, also an investigative journalist, is calling out those same figures and others, blaming a web of corruption and impunity for his mother’s violent death.
