🚨BREAKING🚨 Huawei lobbyists are suspected of paying bribes to Members of the European Parliament. Belgium’s federal police have raided Huawei’s EU office as well as the homes of its lobbyists. Around 15 former and current MEPs are “on the radar” of the authorities. More on @ftm.eu

The Conspiracy Theory Problem. People who believe in conspiracy take agency away from other people. They believe everything is determined by Soros or the likes.

Bring your data journalism on!

Action speakes louder than words and it is puzzling to me that still too many people are in a sort of a denial and await for some hidden brilliant plan to be revealed from the USG in relation to Ukraine.

Miranda Patrucic, @occrp.org’s editor in chief, sat down with Belgian journalists from Knack to discuss the severe consequences of the Trump administration’s decision to cut funding for investigative journalism. Read the full conversation in English: www.occrp.org/en/feature/w...

$10B returned to public coffers. That’s the impact of @OCCRP’s investigations since 2006. We were featured in this @nytimes.com story on how U.S. funding crackdown imperils global newsrooms, alongside great colleagues like Slidstvo and @meduza.io www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/b...

Czech police searched the country's largest hospital in Prague and arrested 22 people over suspected corruption involving 160 million euros in EU funds, EU prosecutors said. The suspects allegedly demanded and provided illicit payments for contracts.

The organized crime infrastructure is spreading through new technologies and fintech. This can greatly distort markets and affect legit business. www.occrp.org/en/news/braz...

For 3 years, Ukrainian journalists have risked everything – reporting from the front lines, exposing war crimes, and telling the truth. Many have fled, faced danger, or lost their lives. We have collected 7 simple ways for you to support Ukrainian media on February 24.

UK hits Russia with fresh sanctions as part of ‘triple whammy’ to tighten the screws on Putin www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

We should expect the quality of cross border cooperation at the level of law enforcement agencies to decrease. This will give more space to organized crime to build up infrastructure. It’s the time investigative reporters need to come together more than ever before. Cross border journalism 3.0.

Please send us your best data journalism. You’re in for a Sigma!!!

A strong and united Europe may be the last bastion against the assault of organized crime and corrupt politicians.

This is wrong on so many levels. Source: www.ft.com/content/3f95...

The Trump official currently dismantling USAID was caught in a secret meeting with a group of pro-Russian separatists in the Balkans. Those he met with are under American sanctions for trying to restart the Bosnian war in the name of Christian nationalism. 1/

2/ The rogue episode was one of the first in what diplomats and officials see as a yearslong campaign to transform U.S. foreign policy into his own. Now one of the most powerful people in government, Peter Marocco has the means to do it. By Brett Murphy & @annamaria.bsky.social

Kleptocrats & Co are trying to vilify and dismantle an entire investigative reporting ecosystem because experienced investigative reporters stay in the way of their success.

The global kleptocratic alliances are formed out of convenience but weaken and become antagonistic over time. We must accelerate their fragmentation.

I've been taking a look at recent posts by Russia's ongoing social media campaign, where they've most recently started using deepfaked audio from people like me to push their lies, and there's been a clear uptick in videos making up various allegations about USAID funding.

NEW: In 2022, Halil Falyali was shot dead in his SUV. Turkish authorities were probing what they said was a massive gambling network he allegedly ran. Now, his ex-head of finance is telling all, revealing to OCCRP what he claims was a vast money-laundering operation www.occrp.org/en/investiga...

Amphora Media: the investigative journalism platform of @daphne-foundation.bsky.social. Our aim is to deliver in-depth journalism, committed to the highest professional standards. Collaboration will drive our work. Our doors are open. Our first collaborative investigation launches soon.

The tin foil hat brigade attacking @occrp.org and other investigative journalists are absurd, but they do serve a very serious purpose: protecting authoritarians, the corrupt and plutocrats from accountability

We won the first round in our lawsuit against the US government. This is good but still a way to go to actually restore the funding. www.reuters.com/legal/judge-...

Conspiranoia! The conspiracy against @OCCRP is run by people with extremely low research skills. They can benefit from our training but have little interest for the truth and for hard work. This is “conspiranoia” as @infolibre.bsky.social describes it. www.infolibre.es/politica/occ...

Our investigative journalism is more needed than ever with kleptocrats feeling empowered to go on the rampage worldwide. Support us to support our network of investigative reporting partners: occrp.fundjournalism.org/donate/?_gl=...

We work in the interest of the many and against the interests of the few who try to rob them blind. www.occrp.org/en/feature/i...

OCCRP has sued Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, the U.S. Department of State and USAID for illegally halting grants that were funding small investigative media around the world. The halt defunded what is often the last remaining independent media in some countries.

Criminals see great promise for boundless and unchecked cross border expansion at this juncture in history. It is up to us to not let their dreams and our nightmares come true.

Donald Trump's nominee to lead the FBI, Kash Patel, was paid $25k by pro-Kremlin filmmaker Igor Lopatonok. Last year, we broke the story of how Lopatonok shopped film pitches to dictators, promising flattering coverage of their regimes. 👇 www.occrp.org/en/investiga...

The OCCRP is much more than just reporters: they make investigative infrastructure to support newsrooms. The true impact of the OCCRP is way larger and grander than the stories that have their name on it.

This week, OCCRP was the target of a disinformation campaign alleging that a 2019 story on Rudy Giuliani was an attempt to meddle in U.S. politics. This is untrue, and it's not how OCCRP operates. Read our statement: www.occrp.org/en/announcem...

The conspiracy is very filmsy. It doesn’t even rise to the level of a B-roll series. How did we end up getting this kind of attention? Old fashioned investigative journalism.

Journalists flock to #Davos to cover elites discussing global issues—often problems they helped create. Imagine the same energy for conferences tackling poverty and inequality. But those don’t come with champagne receptions. #Priorities #WEF

Al Jazeera English report from Douma, talking to witnesses and victims of the Douma chemical attack, which includes the details of how they were forced to lie about the attack to the OPCW and others by Syrian and Russian forces www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cFA...

May 2025 bring us closer to the end of kleptocracy! After all, it’s been a few thousand years and what is enough is enough.

RIP Jimmy Carter. It was a privilege being a Carter fellow and meeting you and Rosalynn Carter. You were two amazing people who teamed up to make the world a better place.

A tragedy that could have been avoided. The disinformation and the twisted blame game will shortly begin but facts will stay facts.

Merry Christmas!

The John Goetz "investigation" was nothing more than an hour-long version of this Wikileaks tweet from 2016. We all know what was happening in spring of 2016 in Wikileaks-land...

Finally, the GIJN weighs in on the hit piece ... gijn.org/uncategorize...

Orban, Putin, Fico and others like them want a pax kleptocrata that would only lead to more poverty, chaos and terror. That is not the way.

A strong statement of support for OCCRP from the Global Investigative Journalism Network. It’s sad that @mediapart.fr & co. chose to cast suspicion on investigative journalists at a time when things have never been riskier. We need to pull together. gijn.org/uncategorize...

NEW: In January 2023, Mexican activist Antonio Diaz & his lawyer Ricardo Lagunes disappeared after a community assembly against a mine, their truck found abandoned & shot up. The case shows how local cartels benefit from the presence of mining companies like steelmaker Ternium.
