The European Union’s justice commissioner announced on 23 April that she will visit Malta to look at its anti-money laundering moves and check on how an investigation is going into the murder of investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. The visit by Commissioner Věra Jourová will increase pressure on Malta, following the European Parliament's resolution last year expressing "serious concerns" about police independence and international money-laundering on the island in a resolution adopted last year.
