Daphne: A Fire in Malta

Episode 4

Duration: 14 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FM

Drama written by Lizzie Nunnery.
Reporting by Alys Harte.

Daphne Caruana Galizia was Malta’s top investigative reporter. She dedicated her life to holding power to account; investigating allegations of organised crime, cronyism and corruption on this tiny island state. She was killed after a bomb exploded under her car in 2017. She was 53 years old.

Across the series, we explore five episodes from Daphne's life and investigative work. She was often described as fearless. Her provocative, uncompromising style made her work both controversial - and high risk. But what compelled Daphne to take on these influential forces?

In Episode 4, Daphne makes ground on a story that will eventually shake governments across the world: the Panama Papers.
