Journalist Behind Panama Papers Leak, Blown Up in Her Car

Love her work or hate her, no one deserves to die like this... At least it was quick.. Hopefully some of you will remember when the so called Panama Papers were first exposed..Probably a few threads on ATS talking about them with the normal partisan bickering ?

Daphne Caruana Galizia will be remembered as a remarkable investigative journalist who risked her life to expose corruption among the elite. One of her most notable endeavors was bringing the massive revelations from the Panama Papers to light, which consisted of 11.5 million leaked documents that detailed financial information from more than 200,000 offshore accounts.

As The Free Thought Project reported in April 2016, the Panama Papers had a direct effect on the United States by revealing both elite and criminal donors who helped to finance the careers of Hillary and Bill Clinton through unethical offshore tax shelters.

Matthew Caruana Galizia is also an investigative journalist, and he worked alongside his mother on the investigation into the Panama Papers. He wrote that he was nearby when his mother’s car exploded with a blast so powerful that it sent the vehicle and its passenger flying into a nearby field.

I am never going to forget, running around the inferno in the field, trying to figure out a way to open the door, the horn of the car still blaring, screaming at two policemen who turned up with a single fire extinguisher to use it. They stared at me. ‘I’m sorry, there is nothing we can do,’ one of them said. I looked down and there were my mother’s body parts all around me. I realized they were right, it was hopeless.

Before everyone goes nuts, she was accusing the Maltese government of being run by a Mafia, which it is. Malta is a popular nexus for money launderers.

ETA why does this source mention the Clintons, who were not implicated by the papers, but not Putin, who was?

Plenty of connections to the Clintons. Over a billion if you read the article.

Edit:sorry my link didn't work. Just use the google.

+1 for the Clinton Death Count.

Anyone that doesn't understand should read up on the Panama Papers.

Partisan?

She was killed for exposing corruption, corruption doesn't take sides, nor is it exclusive to nationality.

This appeared to be local, the son even thinks that... She used to get death threats we'll before any Panama papers.

Not everything is about the USA, the Panama papers were far from being just about the US.

I didn´t read in the OPs source, but i am following this terror attack since it happened.

First of all because it is not called a terror attack, but what else is blowing up people with carbombs?
Just a "simple murder"?

No, the victim was a brave journalist that uncovered tactics in the war between the rich versus the rest of the world!
This was not the so called "IS", as it is told to us even if only a bag of rice topples over in China. The so called "IS" didn´t even declare responsibility for this terror attack, even if they are not far from declaring new years eve fireworks as their terror attack.

Let´s have a look, who was in danger because of here work, her investigations?
Rich taxdodgers and the political theatre that helps them and covers them, and profits!
Sooo, who could profit from her death? The so called "IS"....?

This terror attack shows us how the rich and powerful handle their business!
Too many well known names(corporations, rich "VIPs", plus unknown rich people) worldwide, too many european politicians, EU technocrats, banksters, the whole dirty moneyed aristocracy, all they were and are in danger because of her work.

What do you think why the Panama Papers scandal was out the MSMs(their, the TPTB´s MSM) news that fast and almost never mentioned again? If there can be anything good in the death of Daphne Caruana Galizia, then it is the fact that now people are remembered to the Panama Papers, and maybe some "conspiracy theorists" start to go down the rabbit hole now, or again.

It´s just so sad to see that people don´t care, it´s just a simple murder somewehere on an little island. While in Germany(for example) you are treated as a terrorist if you are muslim and your wife bought a litre of hairblech, years ago. People don´t see what really happened, that it was part of a battle in the war of the rich against the rest of the world.

This has to be a huge, huge story, in a normal world, a world with not corrupt journalists and politicians. But it is only marginally mentioned by most reports, in their MSM. Guess this happened in russia. A journalists, uncovering corrupt, taxdodging richs and ultrarichs, politicians etc, get´s blown up in her car. Hell would break loose and the MSM agencies would have one after another report about the incident, for sure it would be the front headline in the western news, for days or weeks, even months.

But this happened in the "oh so clean and model example" EU, where normaly everything, even a cows fart if possible, is called a terror attack, for special reasons.

We don´t know who physically installed the bomb at her car.
But i am pretty sure we can say who gave the order to do so, i named them before!

It seems that the "economic hitman" couldn´t buy her, that they couldn´t silence her without killing her.
"They" are those that profit from her death!

Not everything is about the USA, but you would not get that impression by reading the article linked to in the OP. She was killed by the Maltese Mafia, which works hand in hand with Russian oligarchs. Already there are misdirections on this thread blaming the Clintons. Ask yourself:

1) Why does the article make no mention that this happened in Malta?
2) Why does it not mention that her claims were specifically about the Maltese government?
3) Why does it not mention that the Maltese government works with Eastern European crime syndicates?
4) Why does it mention the Clintons, but not Putin?

We have a new sputnik telling the truth story sell a lie.

It wasn't terrorism. It was an assassination.

It would appear that the populace of nations, people of the world, just don't care too much about corruption.

We all know the rich dodge taxes and we all know the filth they get up to. The Panama papers came and went. I mean from an ATS point of view, all we did is put our perspective spins on it. As a Brit all we did is have a go at politicians.

Little came of it from our perspective.

But elsewhere it was clearly a bit more dangerous and revealing. With the way the world is going I expect to see this sort of stuff more often.

Will we the people do anything about it?

I don't know... People don't seem to care much other than having a nasty opinion for a few days, unless it directly affects them.

I'm Arachnophobic, how I learnt to deal with that is declaring war on spiders. I tend to kill them on sight.

Safe to say, I hate spiders.

That's what I see here, spiders spinning their webs. Sometimes it's glaringly obvious how and where things are spun.

a reply to: RAY1990

It wasn't terrorism. It was an assassination.

It's both. We saw various assassinations from the hands of the mob in Italy. They use car bombs to actually torrorize journalists and public officials, who've been investigating their dirty business.

It would appear that the populace of nations, people of the world, just don't care too much about corruption.

I beg to differ.

Will we the people do anything about it?

What do you think this dead journalist did?

Malta journalist Daphne Galizia's sons reject million euro reward

A Facebook post by Matthew Caruana Galizia, signed by his brothers Andrew and Paul, said they had faced "unrelenting pressure" from Malta's leaders to "endorse a million-euro reward for evidence leading to the conviction of our mother's assassins".

But they said they are "not interested in justice without change".

"A government and a police force that failed our mother in life will also fail her in death. The people who for as long as we can remember sought to silence our mother cannot now be the ones to deliver justice," they said.

They took aim at Prime Minister Joseph Muscat and called for him to stand down. "Show political responsibility and resign. Resign for failing to uphold our fundamental freedoms," they said.

The sons demanded he replace Malta's police commissioner and attorney general "with public servants who won't be afraid to act on evidence against him and those he protects".

Because it is a politicial biased source, just like youre biased when you try to blame it on Putin and make it about russia, Why not just stay to the facts, and try to get a real picture of what happen??

a reply to: IAMNOTYOU
Putin isn't an American illegally hiding money from the IRS in offshore banks. Putin doesn't pay income taxes to the IRS, who cares what he does with his money we have no jurisdiction over Putin and his money.

a reply to: SouthernForkway26

That's not the point. Why does this article obscure what took place and try to tie this to American politics? Also, I don't believe she was "behind" the Panama Papers, she was one of many involved.

This thread has nothing to do with Putin. Why are yo pre-emptively defending him?

Where do I blame it on Putin? I clearly blame it on the Maltese "mafia." All I have done is ppoint out that the OP's source withheld key facts to create the impression the Clintons were involved. Why do you suppose that it? Who would have the motivation to do that? And what sort of person is this "news" targeted for?

If you read the article it was clearly stated that:

Galizia’s career was devoted to exposing establishment corruption, and her most recent work revealed that Malta’s prime minister, Joseph Muscat, and two of his closest aides, had connections to offshore companies that linked them to the sale of Maltese passports, and showed that they had received payments from the government of Azerbaijan, according to a report from the Guardian.

The use of the Panama Papers was to point out her notoriety and claim to fame; otherwise most would not know who she is/was.. No where in the article that I read said, "Clinton did it".. the only reference about them was about the Panama Papers which supposedly exposed the criminal donors who helped finance the careers of Hillary and Bill Clinton through offshore tax shelters.

You seem to be very sensitive about any disparaging word about those two... Sorry if it upsets you youtu.be...

a reply to: 727Sky

So why didn't you include that in the OP?

a reply to: DJW001
You brought up Putin first when you asked why he wasn't mentioned in the article in connection with the Maltese government.

Putin has nobody to hide from or anybody to answer to in Russia. The Panama Papers or anything else Galizia reports can't hurt him domestically. I don't see a motive for Putin to help Malta assasinate a journalist.

This is a conspiracy site, and this assassination is most certainly a conspiracy. I'm not defending Putin but there are certain Americans who could still be implicated by the Panama Papers especially with details of the Russian uranium deal coming into the fore.
