OUR LATEST: the consultant for @Accenture at centre of $400m investment from China to Europe is behind the mystery company Macbridge that murdered journalist Daphne was investigating.
reuters.com/article/malta-…

with @BorgJake @EngenTham @OCCRP @christophgiesen @h_munzinger
It was known as the "Malta-China Bridge", or #Macbridge for short. The company was registered in Hong Kong.

Accountants for 2 politicians in Malta named it as a source of funds for their Panama companies. Both firmly deny any wrongdoing.

Here is how things now look:
The name #Macbridge (along with #17Black) first emerged from an email discovered by a source of Daphne's in 2016 - indicating to her they were "at centre of the web" of suspected corruption. She sent a WhatsApp message to her son @mcaruanagalizia with the news.

Nach Informationen von @TheTimesofMalta soll Schembri zurückgetreten sein, nachdem er zum Mordfall #DaphneCaruanaGalizia verhört wurde. Der verhaftete maltesische Geschäftsmann Yorgen Fenech soll demnach in seinem Verhör den Namen des Kabinettschefs genannt haben.
Gegen Schembri waren in der Vergangenheit Korruptionsvorwürfe erhoben worden. Er hat ein Fehlverhalten stets bestritten.

“The .@MaltaGov refused 40 requests for interviews from the #DaphneProject. This is unacceptable from an EU member state,” @laurentrichard0.

We recently highlighted the lack of media access to .@JosephMuscat_JM & his cabinet in our joint mission report: pen-international.org/news/maltas-au…
“It is essential that the EU ensure all MS are fulfilling their obligations & put additional pressure on #Malta to uphold media freedom by insisting.@JosephMuscat_JM & his cabinet grant access to critical journalists & respond to #FOIA requests,” @laurentrichard0
