An anti-Mafia commission from Italy will be visiting Malta next week, Italian news agency ANSA reports.

The commission will be led by Democrat parliamentarian Rosy Bindi.

The mission had been previously planned but ANSA reports that it will take on a new dimension following the murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia last Monday.

The visit, the report said, fits in a series of investigations that the commission is carrying out on the Mafia’s international connections.

The commission will be meeting the judiciary and Maltese politicians.
