Assassins Kill Panama Papers Journalist Who Linked Ivanka Trump To Russian Money Launderers

WHY IS THIS NOT BEING REPORTED?

Someone executed a highly professional hit on an investigative reporter involved in the Panama Papers disclosures.

This smells like the Putin Mafia to me. WHY HAVE WE NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS STORY?

Do your homework instead of stirring the pot with disinformation ... we have this wonderful invention, the search engine. Use it.

mostly political discussion entertainment and most of that very low quality. Yes, there are a few notable exceptions for quality just as Fox pieces are occasionally fair and balanced, but none are meant to be news sources and never were. T

Their effect on the nation is what one would expect of malignant, amoral profit centers that have been infiltrated by the same people who took over and destroyed the Republican Party.

That is a new twist and an added reason for the Putin mafia to get involved.

but Daphne Caruana Galizia doesn't seem to have written anything about Ivanka Trump at all. PoliticalDig just thinks the only way to present "the Panama Papers" to the American public is to say "someone else found her connection in them" - it was Reuters and NBC.

She was affecting Malta's reputation as a good place to "do business".

offshore on a yacht with a cell phone.

Unfortunately the papers themselves are more important as news than is the murder of the reporter but Maltese police are very aggressively investigating this crime and have arrested at least eight individuals.

Daphne Galizia was assassinated

Investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was assassinated in her native Malta after exposing a massive web of corruption through the "Panama Papers," including a revelation that Ivanka Trump helped her father’s Panama hotel venture with the help of an alleged international fraudster with ties to Russian money launderers.

Panama Papers - Wikipedia (Read More...)

There are thousands of mentions of Donald Trump, none of which appear to refer to the person. Several "Trump" companies mentioned in the Panama Papers have completely different principals, such as "a young woman whose LinkedIn profile describes her as merchandising supervisor at a small clothing retailer" in Palembang, Indonesia. The "Trump Ocean Club International Hotel & Tower Panama" mentioned in the papers "is not owned, developed or sold by Donald J. Trump, the Trump Organization or any of their principals or affiliates," according to the resort website.

Good question!

MSM seems to be ignoring this potentially explosive story.
