At a Maltese independence day celebration, women raise two fingers in the air. 'It's the sign we make during our vigils every month after Daphne Caruana Galizia's murder', explains a woman. 'It's a signal that all is not well in this country'. Daphne Caruana Galizia was an anti-corruption journalist. In 2017, she was killed by a bomb planted in her car. Ahead of her murder, Galizia had been investigating a deal which she alleged was part of a scheme to hand millions to the Prime Minster's associates. 'My mother uncovered that the energy minister had set up secret companies in Panama', explains Galizia's son Matthew. Some believe that Daphne was murdered as a direct result of this investigation. 'If there is impunity in Daphne's murder, the ramifications for Malta are enormous', says Galizia's sister.
