Will the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia lead to wholesale institutional reform in Malta?

Journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was killed in a car bomb attack in Malta on 16 October. Her death prompted widespread international condemnation and has refocused attention on the need for institutional reforms within Malta to protect the rule of law and freedom of the press. Roderick Pace writes that with the recent Paradise Papers leak also portraying off-shore financial centres like Malta in a poor light, there is now impetus for genuine reforms to take place, but questions remain over whether the state has the capacity to implement them.
