Malta: Three suspects arrested over 2017 killing of journalist

Malta police arrests three men suspected of supplying the bomb that killed investigative reporter Daphne Caruana Galizia.

Police in Malta have arrested three men suspected of having supplied the bomb which killed a Maltese anti-corruption journalist in 2017. The arrest on Tuesday came as a man accused of carrying out the killing agreed to a plea deal, accepting responsibility for the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia in return for a reduced, 15-year jail term instead of a possible life sentence. A legal source said Vince Muscat had provided police with vital information about the case, which has shone a spotlight on corruption in the European Union’s smallest country.
