00:00She was obviously killed because of something that she had written about.
00:24There's just no other way.
00:26She was relentless.
00:28She was fearless.
00:29She was a very high-profile reporter in Malta.
00:32She was very well-known.
00:33And if she could be killed in this violent way inside an EU member state, then who's
00:40going to be next?
00:54She was a person who was not scared to tackle corruption head-on and step on people's toes.
01:00And we feel that someone needs to continue her legacy and continue working and fighting
01:05against these thoughts of evil.
01:08We think it's important to continue the reporting of Daphne Caruana to show the persons, whoever
01:13did this, that it does not pay off to kill a reporter.
01:43The 17 Blacks, a company discovered by Daphne Caruana Galizia before she was murdered.
02:04She never found out who owned it.
02:05We discovered it was owned by Jürgen Fennig, Malta's richest man.
02:10And we also discovered that the emails in the Panama Papers showed that it intended
02:16to pay money to Keith Shembury, the prime minister's right-hand man, chief aide.
02:22No money was actually paid, we think, because Daphne discovered it too early.
02:25But this was, it appeared, a scheme for corruption.
02:39You've named many people close to the prime minister, are you going to name them today?
02:56Yes, of course.
02:57And these people are responsible?
02:58I'm confident.
02:59I'm confident.
03:00I've done the test.
03:10Daphne was right!
03:24Daphne was right!
03:30Assassins!
03:32Assassins!
03:34Assassins!
03:36Assassins!
03:39Can you get justice for your mother while he's still prime minister?
03:47No, definitely not.
03:49Definitely not.
03:50It's impossible.
03:52It's just impossible.
03:54It's complicit!
03:56Anyone who thinks we can is insane.
03:59You have to be insane to believe that.
04:20Did you have any prior knowledge about the plot to kill Daphne Caruana Galizia?
04:24Definitely not.
04:25And are you confident that your chief of staff and best friend didn't have any prior knowledge
04:28as well?
04:29It's up to the police.
04:30What I can say is that none of the investigations over the two years, at least where I was briefed,
04:37ever mentioned him.
04:39The very fact that Jürgen Fenech and Kitschkamp were friends and he was still attending these
04:43security services briefings is...
04:45That's up to the police to determine.
