Malta’s prime minister Joseph Muscat has announced he will stand down following controversy surrounding the murder of a prominent journalist on the island.
Opposition politicians have repeatedly called for Joseph Muscat to quit as the investigation into her murder prompted claims of corruption that led all the way to the government.
Daphne Caruana Galizia, 53, who was killed by a car bomb in 2017, had investigated and unearthed corruption at all levels on the Mediterranean island.
