I recently had the pleasure of viewing Ivan Camilleri’s interview regarding the company 17 Black on the website of the Times of Malta.

It was moving to watch him at work; he was calm, efficient and full of hope. Thank you for do­ing your job.

We have lived abroad for years, and reading about our country, the corruption allegations and the Daphne Caruana Galizia tragedy saddens and angers us a great deal.

Mr Camilleri had the courage to ask the right questions of an elected official in a world which is hyper-connected and hyper-aware. Everyone, including many proud Maltese expats like myself can see how our beloved islands are being travestied into a Mafia State.

Some of these ministers appear to be amateurs ready for a lesson from the EU. They do not realise that the rest of the world is watching. This surely cannot have a happy ending.

Although I have never voted in Malta as I left when I was a child, I am still a Maltese citizen. I would like to somehow find the courage that you and other journalists show and help in my own way.

Again, thanks for your work, and God bless.
