Malta Arrests 10 Over Killing of Journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia
Ms. Caruana Galizia’s husband and sons filed a suit on Nov. 22 calling for a senior police officer involved in the investigation, Deputy Commissioner Silvio Valletta, to be replaced
because he is married to Justyne Caruana, a minister in the Labour Party government, of which Ms. Caruana Galizia was a fierce critic.

Facing pressure from the European Union to make progress in the investigation of the car bomb killing of the journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, Malta announced on Monday
that 10 people had been arrested in connection with the crime.
Sven Giegold, a member of the European Parliament delegation, said in a statement on Friday
that the group had arrived on the island "seriously concerned over the rule of law in Malta and left even more worried." "The police and the attorney general have demonstrated an unwillingness to investigate and failure to prosecute corruption and money laundering," he added.
Faith in the police force’s ability to conduct a serious investigation was further undermined by signs
that some officers had even welcomed Ms. Caruana Galizia’s killing.
