It isn't the case that nothing happened. That one journalist who was most closely involved in it all got blown up in a car bomb, and all the other interests clamped down and made it harder and mor lethal for other journalists to follow suit. Yay for Israeli and Argentinian zero day exploits, anyone can buy acccess to your phone!!

Do you have a link? Looks like Bastian Obermayer is still alive.

They're thinking of Daphne Caruana Galizia, a Maltese journalist who uncovered the involvement of several Maltese politicians and who was then murdered with a car bomb a year later https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daphne_Caruana_Galizia
