RE: No Need For Public Inquiry Says Malta's PM While Pursuing Libel Case Against Murdered Journalist and Her Family

in #journalism6 years ago

She was a legendary investigative reporter and her legacy will live on. Investigating reporting is a tough job and if you're doing it right, it's a perilous path that can cost you your life. Exposing the corruption of big guns in a government is the riskiest thing as this system protects them and the worst part is, even after giving your life, nothing happens to the culprits. Luckily, in my country, after Panama Leaks, our corrupt Prime Minister who had distributed wealth and important ministries among his relatives and thus put country in the abyss of debts that can't be paid. So, as a result US puts sanctions and heavy interest rate on our country that causes inflation to a level where life for a poor masses is worse is like living in hell. I salute the people who expose the corruption without caring their lives. Nice write up @v4vapid.

Thanks for your comments here. The Panama Papers certainly shook things up and embarrassed a few wealthy people. Some did lose their positions but for many of these criminals there were no repercussions. We need brave reporting to bring these abuses to light but, it's very risky and the stakes are very high, too high for most.
