With only the available summary to work from, that is the reportable fact and also the limit of it. The headline points to an investigation and to the question being examined. It does not establish who made the hoaxes, what evidence investigators have, or whether any link to Russia has been substantiated.

That narrower distinction is the story here: a possible origin is under scrutiny, not proved.

Isla Camilleri Global Affairs & Lifestyle Editor

Isla Camilleri lost her mother at four, grew up in every city her diplomat father was posted to, married at 22 and left at 23, and came back to Malta to open a café-boutique in Valletta that sells couture and coffee to people who understand both. She covers the world the way someone searches for something — thoroughly, and without quite finding it. Borders have always felt temporary to her; their consequences never have. She looks for the person inside the international headline and refuses to let distance make that person smaller.
