The family of the murdered Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, who was a relentless critic of corruption in the country, are taking legal action against the police force for allegedly failing to ensure the investigation into her killing is impartial and independent. Caruana Galizia was killed on 16 October after her rental car was blown apart by a powerful explosive device. After receiving no response, they filed a lawsuit on Wednesday at Malta’s constitutional court calling for his removal. Valletta serves on the board of the FIAU, a fact highlighted by Caruana Galizia in May. Muscat and his associates filed libel suits against Caruana Galizia before her murder.
