Julian Assange has expressed outrage at the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia as news of the savage attack made the rounds internationally.

The man behind Wikileaks, an international non-profit organisation that publishes secret information, news leaks, and classified media provided by anonymous sources, expressed his thoughts in a tweet.

Outraged to hear that Maltese investigative journalist+blogger Daphne Caruana Galizia has been murdered this afternoon not far from her home with a car bomb. I issue a €20k reward for information leading to the conviction of her killers. Her blog: https://t.co/XQCEXBKYn3 pic.twitter.com/ITHlBRzr0J — Julian Assange 🔹 (@JulianAssange) October 16, 2017

He also issued a €20,000 reward to anyone who can provide information that leads to a conviction of Caruana Galizia's murderers.

Concern was also expressed by Italian anti-mafia campaigner and author Roberto Saviano, who described the events in Malta as "dramatic". Saviano placed the murder in the context of what he described as Malta being a centre of money laundering alongside London and Gibraltar.
