One of three men accused of assassinating investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia in Malta in 2017 has received a 15-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to all charges in connection with his role in the murder. Vincent Muscat had previously entered a Not Guilty plea, but reportedly accepted a plea bargain arrangement with prosecutors. He is also to pay €42,000 in court fees.
Daphne Caruana Galizia -- frequently described as a "one-woman WikiLeaks" -- had been investigating a complex weave of corruption involving major figures of the political, social, and business elite of the Mediterranean island nation when she died.
