Keynote: What Independent Investigation Don't Usually Disclose

CITIZENS OF EVIDENCE: Independent Investigations for Change The Art of Exposing Injustice - Part 3 The 17th conference of the Disruption Network Lab WHAT INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATORS DON’T USUALLY DISCLOSE Matthew Caruana Galizia (Investigative Journalist & Software Engineer, MLT). Moderated by Crina Boros (Investigative Reporter, UK). This keynote speech will address issues freelancers who investigate high-level corruption face in silence and isolation, often with tragic consequences. Calling all journalists, due diligence investigators, whistleblowers and human rights professionals, Matthew Caruana Galizia, in conversation with Crina Boros, will look at what impacted murdered Maltese blogger Daphne Caruana Galizia personally and professionally during her dangerous work, and will discuss a freelancer’s personal responsibility, as well as the shield owed by employers, cross-border networks, as well as state regulators and legislators. Daphne Caruana Galizia was killed by a car bomb in Malta on 16 October 2017. The investigation into her killing is ongoing, but “there is little doubt that she was murdered because of her work. With a brazen, unapologetic and uncompromising style, she denounced corruption, nepotism, clientelism, and all kinds of criminal behaviors in her tiny EU member state”, as stated on the website of The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) https://www.occrp.org/en/thedaphneproject/.
