   The Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize for Journalism 2025

   The 2025 Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize for Journalism has been awarded to ‘Follow the Money’ a Dutch platform for investigative journalism. The investigation, led in collaboration with 13 newsrooms from Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Italy, Norway, and the United Kingdom, revealed how Western shipowners earned over 6 billion dollars selling 230 aging tankers to Russia's shadow fleet. The award helps to promote EU principles and values, as enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. It is named in honour of Daphne Caruana Galizia, the Maltese journalist, blogger and anti-corruption activist who was assassinated in 2017.
