Milan (AP) -- Maltese authorities faced mounting pressure Thursday to ensure an independent investigation into the slaying of investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, who was known for her fearless reporting on corruption in the small Mediterranean island nation.
The 53-year-old journalist's three grown sons called on Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat to resign, saying he should take political responsibility for "failing to uphold our fundamental freedoms" by not rooting out corruption.
