Protection of investigative journalists in Europe: the case of Slovak journalist Ján Kuciak and Martina Kušnírová (debate)

Madam President, I led the mission to Malta following the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia. I must say that I see very worrying parallels, and it's not just because they were investigative journalists working to expose the corrupt and the captured, but it's also because the investigations point out two mafiosi having done the professional job of assassinating both Daphne and Ján Kuciak and his partner. This is extremely worrying, and it is a reason why we absolutely must have Europol and OLAF not only associated with the investigation: they must co-lead the investigation. That's exactly what we see, for instance, in Malta. The former Commissioner who was dismissed with a scathing report never faced charges and was actually made an adviser to the Prime Minister. What does the Commission have to say about that? The question of capture by the corrupt of our political establishments is the crucial question that must be addressed.
