Her no.1 bestseller accused Estonia’s elite of corruption, and a short while later she was convicted in a high-profile NGO cash scandal. But the jailing of Anna-Maria Galojan has refused to silence her, even as the attacks continue. This is the story of how she went from Reform Party rising star in Tallinn to political exile in London, and why a mid-level NGO funding scandal became a national obsession. It raises uncomfortable questions about power, due process, and a tabloid machine that helped turn a complicated paper trail into a simple morality play.
