That's quite a bad Day for Journalism, since Europe is usually one of the safest Regions for them

It is, I presume. But come to think of it, I don't know much about the Country, other than it being some Island State in the Mediterranean Sea, having English as an official Language + used to be a British Colony, and Malta has some fancy old Knights Order or something.

We'll never know which scumbag is responsible, we're talking about all sorts of tyranny who were mentioned in the Panama papers including royalty.

They use to make divorce illegal but thankfully got rid of that. That's about all there is for Malta.

Malta seems to be a Tax-Heaven

Her most recent revelations pointed the finger at Malta’s prime minister, Joseph Muscat, and two of his closest aides, connecting offshore companies linked to the three men with the sale of Maltese passports and payments from the government of Azerbaijan.

There was another Island Nation, I think Cyprus, selling Passports for Money.
