Bomb Kills Panama Papers Reporter, Malta's Prime Minister Says

VALLETTA, Malta — A Maltese investigative journalist who had exposed her island nation's links with the so-called Panama Papers document leak was killed Monday when a bomb destroyed her car as she was driving near her home, Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said.

Daphne Caruana Galizia, 53, had just driven away from her home in Mosta, near the capital, Valletta, when the bomb exploded, sending wreckage spiraling over a wall and into a field.
Muscat said Caruana Galizia's death resulted from a "barbaric attack" that was also an assault on freedom of expression. He described her as "one of my harshest critics, on a political and personal level," as he denounced the attack as "unacceptable."

Politico named Caruana Galizia one of 28 Europeans who are "shaping, shaking and stirring" Europe. She had exposed that Muscat's wife, Michelle, as well as Muscat's energy minister and the government's chief-of-staff, held companies in Panama by looking into the 2016 document leak. Muscat and his wife deny that they held such companies.

Trust me, our government knows who has offshore accounts in Jersey the isle of man the British Virgin Islands i.e. Grand Cayman. Since 1998, anyway.

GWB had a two year a tax amnesty to refile with immunity from criminal charges and high penalties.

They also know that 99% of the personal charities that so many politicians opened in the last 20 years – it was a trend – was a way for them to take legal bribes and fuck around with the money . Have a hard time grasping the concept? Google Tom Delays charity.

These are the American oligarchs ... we are watching them rise with our eyes wide open.
