… but that’s where the intrepid and determined – and now dead – Galizia happened to be based. And financial/government corruption (almost necessarily hand-in-hand) can lead everywhere, and between those with similar interests within a country. This murder of a “political rival” was too obvious; I don’t think Muscat would have lent a hand in this unless the act was done by others with (tenuously) connected/similar interests, with that buying Muscat deniability.
And, frankly, where $$$$$ is concerned, I don’t see why 3 oligarchs laundering in Malta would be less likely to protect themselves than 30 in Cyprus.
