Sicily-Malta: a Bridge against Corruption

On 16 October 2017, #DaphneCaruanaGalizia‘s murder shocked the Maltese and European population.

Her work as a journalist and blogger focused on corruption in Malta’s Government and the increasingly tight links with the Sicilian #mafia.

An event on Friday 12 March at 6.00 pm. will be happening online; it aims to underline these connections affecting Maltese, Sicilian and other communities.

Corruption, gambling, drugs and oil illegal trafficking are the pillars of a bridge between Sicily and Malta that we will analyse through the insight of activists and journalists.
