But people _do_ die when exposing corruption of the rich. Such as Daphne Caruana Galizia and Ján Kuciak for the Panama papers. Would you call their deaths "hollywood films"?
And it'd be natural to think killers would try to hide their traces, such that most such deaths would look like an accident or suicide.
- asdfgjkl 3y agoJust a correction, Kuciak wasn't killed for Panama Papers, but regular investigative journalism into the corruption of the rich (your point still stands).
- whimsicalism 3y agoI am more skeptical of the perfect staging to make it look like a suicide theory. Both of those killings were in pseudo-mafioso states. Both were also immediately recognized as murder. State-sanctioned murder of your own citizens on your own soil is a lot less commmon in a country like the US, although there are well as Mafia and organized crime murders. But I think successful staging as a suicide is uncommon outside of Hollywood and repressive governments.
- squigz 3y agoI'm confused - has there been any implication that (if this was a murder) it was "state-sanctioned"?
- dinkblam 3y ago> Both of those killings were in pseudo-mafioso states ugh? there is more law & order in Malta than in the US. been there for nearly a decade and according to Wikipedia [1] the homicide rate in the US is 6.4 while it is 0.4 in Malta.

- Bluescreenbuddy 3y agoDaphne was exposing corruption long before the Panama Papers. She was already a target.
