Joseph Muscat (@JosephMuscat_JM) An additional 2 persons have been apprehended in #DaphneCaruanaGalizia murder probe, bringing total to 10 arrests. Muscat said there was a “reasonable suspicion” the suspects were involved in the killing of Caruana Galizia, whose popular blog attacked high-level political corruption, shady business dealings and organised crime on the island. The joint police and military operation was the first breakthrough for the Maltese investigation, which has been helped by experts from the FBI, Europol and the Finnish and Dutch security services. Caruana Galizia wrote about some of those linked to the inquiry. “We want those directly and indirectly responsible for this horrible murder to be brought to justice.”Additional reporting by Lorenzo Tondo
