VALLETTA/DUBAI (Reuters) - In February 2017, the Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia wrote in her blog about a mystery company in Dubai called 17 Black Limited. She alleged it was connected to Maltese politicians, but offered no evidence.

She was unable to discover who owned the company, and it remained unclear whether 17 Black had any significance.
