reporter: daphne caruana galizia never got that chance.nd jonathan ferris was sacked before his findings could be verified. the maltese police has admitted it's not acting on his evidence, even though the section he led at the anti-money-laundering agency submitted a report so the police could secure evidence and freeze bank accounts. jonathan: nothing happened to them. if my memory serves me right, the police commissioner, in the police economic crime unit, stated that they are not to be investigated. so how can you say that there is no crime when you have not yet investigated? it's exceptional, unheard of. reporter: jonathan ferris hopes the e.u. will put pressure on maltese authorities to respect the rule of law. a group of mep's has arrived in malta on a fact-finding mission. they want to know whether there was money laundering. will financial crimes be prosecuted? and does malta ensure due process for all? as an e.u. member state, it is obliged to. but doubts remain. sven: i'm concerned about the rule of law in malta. jonathan ferris
