@OxfordDiplomat The lack of professionalism is astounding. "They started this." There's absolutely no effort to present any logical case or proper argument, it's obfuscation and an appeal to authority throughout.

@emilybell @skirchy @jane__bradley @guardian Journalist is the right word. It's unfair on people in extreme situations like that in Belarus to say, "they're political activists not journalists". They're in a context where journalism is activism, because journalism is banned, so they have no choice.

Oligarchs are transferring mega-assets to family members to avoid sanctions. This attempt, by Alisher Usmanov, did not work. Important that EU governments allow both authorities and anti-corruption CSOs the resources they need to stay on the ball.

Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov transferred ownership of the megayacht to his sister Gulbakhor Ismailova, who also owns a jet and helicopter attributed to Usmanov.

@jed_mercurio been wondering, is #LOD6 somewhat inspired from the unresolved murder case of #DaphneCaruanaGalizia ? My first hunch was the use of the Maltese surname #Vella . Also, same car model, similar journalism and similar potential motive!

. @Nigel_Farage never explained why he took money from the people who made the bomb used to assassinate my mum. Why did he accept the money? Why did they offer it to him? What was promised in return? No one's saying Farage was involved in a murder, but answers are needed.

A hint to the international media: this massive police operation in Finland (assisted by the military) is likely about much more than just money laundering. The company in question (Airiston Helmi) has been linked to Russia.

The PM’s job is to prevent violence and corruption. When those crimes are perpetrated by his office, he has not only failed to prevent them. He has instigated them. For him to try to take credit for arrests, is like a rapist expecting to be congratulated for becoming a father.

I'm sorry that int'l news crews who made the trip to Malta for the swearing in of our new PM were kept corralled in a courtyard and prevented from doing any filming. Abela, like Muscat, is an arrogant man with no respect for people he sees as his subjects. Our fight continues.

As many pointed out cleaners collected and placed memorial items in the cab, rather than back of their truck. At 00:06 (5mins before clearing) the memorial was photographed to prove which items had been placed there. I guess everything will later be made available for collection.
