Malta warned of corruption crisis after Daphne Caruana Galizia verdict sends ‘chill down the spine’

Malta's government has been warned about a potential corruption crisis after a recent verdict in the Daphne Caruana Galizia case sent a chilling message. This warning comes from a Labour peer, Shami Chakrabarti, who believes that Malta remains vulnerable to corruption unless it strengthens its rule of law and protections for journalists. The situation is concerning for markets and trade because corruption can undermine trust in institutions, making it harder for businesses to operate and invest in the country.
