RE: Arrests Made in Contracted Killing of Panama Papers Journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia

in #journalism7 years ago (edited)

It's the second time I read you on the topic, thanks for keeping us up-to-date on the developments following this tragedy.

It might not be related at all with this sad murder, but I still think it's relevant to keep in mind that the ICIJ may not only be about investigative journalism:

Meanwhile, Eurasia Group President Ian Bremmer warned that the revelations could threaten the stability of some regimes like Russia.
"Vladimir Putin is directly caught up in this," he told CNBC Monday, claiming that the $2 billion could be "a tiny fraction of how much the Kremlin has actually been laundering."
Russia, in particular, could respond aggressively, Bremmer added. Given that the ICIJ was partially funded by billionaire George Soros' Open Society Foundation, the Kremlin may wish to respond, he noted.
"I feel fairly confident that the Kremlin will be going after the U.S., Soros, the CIA and this is going to make Russian policy towards the U.S. actually much more sharp and antagonistic," he said.
