2025
2025 was a tumultuous year that tested OCCRP like no other. A dramatic withdrawal in global media assistance and philanthropic funding, multipronged attacks by enemies of the free press, and the U.S. retreat from its role as a global anti-corruption watchdog all made our jobs more difficult.
But it is the difficult times that make us who we are and allow us to show our true strengths.
In January, an executive order freezing USAID and U.S. State Department foreign assistance immediately reverberated through newsrooms. For OCCRP and many of our member centers, USAID had long been a supporter, helping us secure our infrastructure, report across borders, and train and protect journalists in some of the world’s most repressive environments.
We were forced to cut 20% of our staff, while some outlets scaled back or closed completely.
OCCRP joined one of the first lawsuits against the U.S. administration to challenge the freeze and restore the funding as allocated by Congress.
The judge ruled in our favor and while full funding was not restored, billions of dollars were released for work completed before the freeze.
Our donors anchored us with immediate, additional backing and showed us that we are not fighting this battle alone. We are deeply grateful for their incredible support.
Despite these hurdles, we achieved major milestones this year.
We published more than 80 stories, often at great personal risk to our reporters. Our investigations helped trigger 47 government investigations, supported 39 law enforcement actions, and uncovered more than $405 million in questionable assets. We welcomed three new media member centers into the global network, which now totals over 75 organizations in more than 55 countries. Our trainings, tools, and resources continued to empower journalists from Papua New Guinea to Kyiv to Bogotá.
We broke new ground with the launch of Floodlight Gaming and the first investigative journalism game jam, which saw developers creating games from investigations. To better fight transnational corruption, we helped start the Illicit Finance Data Lab, a first-of-its-kind initiative that strengthens cooperation between investigative journalists, academic researchers, and data scientists. And we began rebuilding the new Aleph Pro from scratch, completely reimagining our investigative data platform and making improvements for the modern era of reporting.
Out of nearly 900 applicants, OCCRP was selected as one of five finalists for the MacArthur Foundation’s 100&Change competition—a $100 million grant awarded to solve one of the world's most critical problems. While we ultimately did not win, the process helped us reimagine the OCCRP of the next decade. We will now work hard to get there.
While 2025 was a memorable year for many reasons, what truly stood out was the forceful commitment and belief in our mission across our entire network and from the many individuals who provided us with crucial support. This solidarity has sustained us for nearly 20 years, and it remains the bedrock of our work today.
Thank you for standing with us.

“We’re not the typical media organization that values click counts above all else – we measure our impact in how much illicit money is recovered and redirected to the public good.”
Paul Radu
OCCRP Co-Founder and Head of Innovation
Licensing authorities in Norway, the U.K., Ireland, Cyprus, Germany, Moldova, and Spain opened investigations into banned doctors working in their jurisdictions as a result of OCCRP’s Bad Practice project. At least 87 investigations were opened, and at least 19 doctors had their licenses suspended or revoked.
The EU imposed fresh sanctions on Syrian-born businessmen brothers Mudalal and Imad Khoury, long suspected of funding the Assad regime's repressive activities. A 2020 OCCRP investigation found that companies linked to the men provided cover for the Syrian agency believed responsible for developing chemical weapons and ballistic missiles.
Juan Carlos Minero Alonso, the owner of Black Wallstreet Capital Financiera was arrested in Mexico. Alonso was one of the figures exposed in OCCRP’s NarcoFiles investigation for his ties to a global drug trafficking network.
The CEO and a board member of Solomon Islands’ state-owned water utility, Solomon Water, resigned amid government pressure to re-engage an Indian company which failed to build a $20-million facility that is two years overdue. OCCRP revealed that the Indian company repeatedly missed deadlines and failed to carry out planned work on a plant to supply clean water to the Pacific island nation’s capital, Honiara.
The European Union imposed sanctions on Ilya Sorokin, a prison doctor at a Russian penal colony accused of torturing prisoners of war, after reporting by OCCRP and RFE/RL Schemes uncovered his identity. Sorokin, known as "Dr. Evil," was also charged in absentia with war crimes in Ukraine.
Former Bangladesh Securities Commission Chair Shibli Rubayat ul Islam was arrested and sent to jail, accused of money laundering and receiving $361,000 in bribes. The charges include the activities that OCCRP reported on in detail in 2023, that Rubayat ul Islam was involved in a scheme that defrauded a Hong Kong company out of $13 million.
Former Transnet CEOs surrendered to authorities over fraud, corruption, and money laundering charges tied to a controversial locomotive deal linked to the Gupta network. A 2017 OCCRP investigation revealed how hundreds of millions of dollars were siphoned from a $5 billion locomotive deal through Gupta-linked companies.
Georgian prosecutors opened a criminal investigation into a massive scam call center operation based in the capital, Tbilisi, after it was exposed by OCCRP’s Scam Empire investigation. It also froze the assets of key managers and top scammers involved in the call center fraud.
Readers turn to OCCRP for unique stories, breaking news, and expert analysis that expose how modern organized crime and corruption function globally.
This investigation offered an unprecedented look into the inner workings of an insidious cyberfraud industry that police officials said cost the public hundreds of billions of dollars. Journalists analyzed 1.9 terabytes of leaked data and exposed a web of shell companies and criminal syndicates that drove online scams and defrauded victims worldwide.
Reporters traveled through Paraguay’s remote Chaco region to find a secret runway that drug smugglers used to transport cocaine. This investigation explored how Paraguay emerged as a regional drug trafficking hub, with international criminal groups exploiting political and judicial weaknesses to operate with relative ease.
This investigation exposed how Balkan drug traffickers used a banana export company tied to the Ecuadorian president’s family to smuggle cocaine to Europe. Reporting drew on analysis of encrypted chats from Serbian criminals, Croatian court records, and maritime databases.
This investigation illustrated how U.S. jet sales can play a vital role in
the global illicit drug trade, and how outdated federal rules, lax oversight,
and a lack of corporate transparency can facilitate high-level drug trafficking across Latin America. The reporting focused on the sale of 30 planes by companies owned by private aircraft broker Lance Zane Ricotta.
A shadowy market for stolen government data fueled a wave of targeted violence across the Netherlands. This feature examined how organized crime groups infiltrated the Dutch state by recruiting civil servants to leak sensitive personal information on targets.
This investigation uncovered how Russia funded influence operations abroad through a state-backed legal aid foundation. The project exposed how Pravfond secretly supported spies, propagandists, and sanctioned individuals under the guise of helping Russian “compatriots” live overseas.
Internal documents and court filings revealed that a Russian engineer with ties to state security agencies controlled key parts of Telegram’s infrastructure, which raised concerns about potential metadata tracking and surveillance risks for users.
The five Barzani sons of Iraqi Kurdistan’s founding president acquired real estate across the United States and went on luxury shopping sprees. A trove of leaked financial records revealed the Barzanis’ vast U.S. real estate holdings and showed that some of the money came from major Kurdish conglomerates that two of the brothers secretly controlled.
Deep in Russia’s heartland, at Penal Colony No. 10 in Mordovia, Ukrainian prisoners of war suffered torture and abuse at the hands of a sadistic doctor known only as “Dr. Evil.” This investigation identified him as 34-year-old physician Ilya Sorokin, who was later sanctioned by the EU.
In Venezuela, a new basketball league played games in a stadium built directly atop an infamous political prison. Established with the stated goal to revive the reputation of Venezuelan basketball, the league was in practice used by the government to deflect attention from human rights abuses.
To sustain its oil exports, Russia drew on a network of old tankers from private sellers around the world. This collaborative investigation revealed how Western shipowners earned at least $6.3 billion by selling aging tankers that became part of Russia's so-called “shadow fleet.”
This story detailed how Russian companies shipped pillaged grain out of occupied Ukrainian ports. The investigation showed that some of the grain exports took pace with Western participation, and evidence suggested that an affiliate of a major Danish firm had played a role.
This investigation revealed how Indonesian nickel giant Harita Group concealed toxic water contamination at its Obi Island operations for over a decade. Internal documents showed that the company knew about dangerous chromium levels since 2012, yet failed to act — endangering communities while it expanded operations and launched a public IPO.
An investigation into Romania’s state-owned energy giant, Complexul Energetic Oltenia, found that the company declared much lower-than-average carbon dioxide emissions figures to the EU for its coal-fired operations. As a result, it potentially avoided hundreds of millions of euros in carbon taxes, all while it received substantial EU funding to transition away from coal.
An international investigation examined how doctors who lost their medical licenses for serious misconduct could easily relocate and continue practicing in other countries. The project spanned Europe and beyond, revealing systemic flaws and inconsistent cross-border information sharing that prompted regulatory authorities across Europe to investigate individual doctors who were still practicing.
This investigation uncovered how U.S. hospital operator Prospect Medical Holdings imploded after long-term neglect and crippling debt. At the center of its financial collapse was a deal that involved the real-estate investment trust Medical Properties Trust (MPT), which also contributed to the demise of Steward Health Care.
The research and data team supports OCCRP’s global network with advanced OSINT and data expertise. In 2025, they handled over 1,080 requests and trained more than 70 journalists. Their work uncovered shady networks, powered over 30 stories, and strengthened investigations with artificial intelligence/machine learning tools that analyze documents, media, and vast datasets.
The research and data team played a central role in the Scam Empire investigation, analyzing an unprecedented 1.9 terabytes of data. This included more than one million files spanning financial records, 20,000 hours of audio calls, tens of thousands of screen recordings, and internal chats.
The team also took a new approach to the Bad Practice investigation, building an entire dataset from scratch rather than relying on a central leak. Over months, the team carried out extensive digital detective work, deploying dozens of scrapers, filing multiple freedom-of-information requests, and compiling countless spreadsheets, to build a comprehensive picture of how doctors stripped of their licenses can quietly move across borders and continue practicing.
OCCRP Aleph Pro
In December 2025, OCCRP launched Aleph ProBETA, the next iteration of its investigative data platform that helps reporters follow the money. More than just a document search engine, Aleph Pro hosts one of the world's largest troves of documents, allowing investigative journalists to search and cross-reference over 4.9 billion records.
Geared towards cross-border collaboration, the platform imports structured data from spreadsheets and databases, allowing journalists to explore detailed data about persons of interest, companies, financial transactions, and related entities.
Our public Aleph Pro instance is used by over 24,600 journalists, activists, and researchers in their work to expose criminal connections, patterns, and networks. OCCRP’s Data Desk also curates a vast archive of records, with extended access available to mission-aligned journalists and researchers upon application.
OCRRP is exploring commercialization options to keep the data platform maintained and improved, while ensuring Aleph Pro remains free for nonprofit media organizations.

Journalism Cloud Alliance (JCA)
The JCA now includes more than 27 members and partners from around the globe working to make cloud computing, data storage, and AI tools more accessible, affordable, and secure for investigative journalists.
Launched in April 2024, the initiative aims to evolve into a community-driven, non-profit social enterprise. It will act as an intermediary between members and trusted technology partners, securing preferential rates, shared infrastructure, and tailored services, with a long-term goal of building a purpose-built, and eventually community-owned, cloud for civil society.
In 2025, the JCA completed a technology audit of members’ cloud infrastructure and costs, began business development work with the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) to refine its business model, and received a grant from the Adessium Foundation to begin work on developing a minimum viable service, including its technical architecture, buildout, piloting, and testing.
In 2025, OCCRP established a dedicated Impact Department with the aim of expanding the positive real-world results that follow from our investigative reporting. Operating through partnerships and outreach, the team works to get our most powerful findings into the hands of those actors who can use them to fight corruption and crime. Building on the success of the Global Anti-Corruption Consortium, the Impact Department is working to respond to the rapidly changing world, build diverse partnerships, and follow up on OCCRP reporting. Progress made along these lines includes new collaborations with think tanks and universities, a strong focus on sanctions evasion, and outreach to important anti-corruption and anti-crime actors who used OCCRP’s reporting in their work.
The Illicit Finance Data Lab
OCCRP launched the Illicit Finance Data Lab in collaboration with the Anti-Corruption Data Collective (ACDC). The new initiative works to strengthen collaboration between investigative journalists, academic researchers, and data scientists in order to better fight transnational corruption.
To achieve this, the Lab identifies datasets and projects that could benefit from joint work by teams of researchers and journalists, helping these groups combine their complementary skills. To encourage more cooperation of this kind, OCCRP and ACDC have been building a community of interested media and academic organizations, and offering practical guidance on building successful collaborations and using sensitive data.
“OCCRP and its partners have access to massive stores of under-utilized data. To tackle dirty money flows, we need new strategies for unlocking the knowledge it contains. The Illicit Finance Data Lab brings together that data with different types of expertise and methodologies, leading to stronger journalism and research that benefits the public interest.”
Alexandra Gillies
OCCRP’s Chief Impact Officer
Global Anti-Corruption Consortium - Turning Headlines into Action
Nearly a decade old, the Global Anti-Corruption Consortium (GACC) continues to expand the impact of investigative reporting. Jointly led by OCCRP and Transparency International, GACC accelerates the fight against corruption by connecting hard-hitting investigative reporting to skillful civil society advocacy. After journalists expose corruption and the systems that make it possible, advocates use this evidence to press for accountability and reform.
In 2025, Transparency International and other civil society partners prepared more than 90 evidence submissions which led to at least 19 impacts, such as new investigations and improvements in key sanction regimes. Their policy advocacy targeted the transparency and regulatory gaps that facilitate corruption, with gains made in reducing the prevalence of high-risk “golden passport” programs, encouraging global action against corruption’s professional enablers, and advancing public beneficial ownership disclosure.
Investigative reporters are facing escalating threats worldwide. To help journalists navigate dangers ranging from spyware and surveillance to online abuse and physical violence, OCCRP provides the support and protection needed for reporters to operate safely and continue their work.
In 2025, OCCRP's Staff Safety & Security Team:
To ensure the highest level of safety and security, OCCRP focuses on six areas:
Exposing transnational crime and holding power accountable makes OCCRP and our partners a constant target for hostile actors. When bad actors can’t dispute the facts in our reporting, they attack our reputation and credibility. They weaponize fringe conspiracy theories and distort our funding sources to malign our motives, speculate about hidden agendas, and erode public trust.
This is a systemic global threat. Across the world, investigative journalists face highly coordinated political assaults and propaganda campaigns designed to shift public attention away from documented wrongdoing and onto manufactured narratives about journalistic intentions.
These hostile campaigns follow highly predictable patterns, and OCCRP is built to resist them. We do not just defend our own network; we actively share our operational expertise and security infrastructure to help independent outlets worldwide recognize, navigate, and counter these diverse threats. We treat these attacks as a clear indicator of our impact — proof that when adversaries cannot challenge our facts, they have no choice but to attack our existence.
World Press Freedom Day, May 3rd
Still, We Report
For World Press Freedom Day 2025, OCCRP spotlighted the courage of investigative journalists who continue reporting in the face of threats, censorship, and violence. Editor in Chief Miranda Patrucic published an open letter reaffirming OCCRP’s unwavering commitment to fearless, independent journalism, no matter the obstacles. We are incredibly grateful to our teams — journalists and non-journalists alike — whose support, dedication, and hard work make this mission possible.
Revenue Axis
Revenue Axis is a multi-donor initiative designed to help investigative journalism outlets navigate a rapidly changing funding landscape and achieve long-term financial sustainability.
Led by OCCRP and developed in partnership with Report for the World, Revenue Axis was created in direct response to shrinking U.S. government support for journalism and the broader contraction of independent media funding.
The program provides a critical lifeline and a strategic roadmap for the inaugural cohort of 27 global newsrooms. Participants maintain editorial independence while building resilient revenue models, ensuring that independent investigative journalism can continue to thrive, adapt, and serve the public interest in an increasingly challenging media environment.
Next-IJ Cross-Border Investigative Training Program
OCCRP launched the Next-Level Data and Tools for Investigative Journalism (Next-IJ) initiative with the Global Forum for Media Development and Transcrime at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore. The program aims to strengthen investigative reporting across Europe by equipping journalists, newsrooms, and media organizations with advanced training and tools.
The program held three day-long intensive investigative journalism training days to strengthen cross-border reporting, which enabled journalists to track financial trails, uncover hidden assets, and use open-source intelligence (OSINT) for effective and ethical research.
“It's my favorite type of training - all very hands-on, tools and methodology oriented, no fluff, just helpful tips and tricks and tools!”

Investigative Journalism Exchange:
Building Global Community Through Local Events
OCCRP deepened its commitment to collaboration through a series of Investigative Journalism Exchange events in Amsterdam and Stockholm, bringing together journalists, editors, and partners to spark cross-border reporting. Co-hosted with Stichting Veronica in Amsterdam, the March and September gatherings featured panels on offshore finance and environmental crime, along with an interactive training by OCCRP’s Research and Data team on investigative tools using a live case study.
In May, OCCRP partnered with Sweden’s Investigative Foundation (Grävfonden) to host the Exchange in Stockholm, focusing on emerging threats from organized crime and extremism. The event featured lightning talks and an "Investigathon," where journalists used tools like Aleph to leverage OCCRP's data infrastructure for their reporting. Together, these events reinforced the power of shared ideas and strong networks in expanding the global investigative community.
OCCRP enthusiastically welcomed three new media outlets to its global network, Cu Sens in Moldova, Amphora Media in Malta, and 15min in Lithuania, bringing our network to more than 75 organizations in over 55 countries.
Member centers receive digital and physical security support and access to important journalistic resources, like OCCRP Aleph. The media outlets in the network also help OCCRP and other member centers by contributing valuable local knowledge, data, and expertise.
OCCRP and our partners received major recognition for impactful investigative journalism.

This documentary details how investigative journalists exposed a global investment scam — revealing how it operates and who profits from the victims. Based on OCCRP’s major cross-border collaborative project Scam Empire, the documentary offers a rare look inside an insidious cyberfraud industry that costs the public hundreds of billions of dollars.
OCCRP’s short documentary investigates how a major U.S. healthcare company responded to scrutiny by launching a covert campaign of surveillance, smears, and political manipulation against its critics.
The third annual Floodlight Summit brought together participants from 25+ countries and connected top investigative journalists with elite international directors, screenwriters, and producers in Cartagena, Colombia. As the only event of its kind, the three-day summit allowed thirteen 2025 Floodlight Select journalists to present their investigative work and collaborate with film industry leaders on turning high-stakes reporting into compelling fictional adaptations
Prominent filmmakers, screenwriters, and producers in attendance included Anne Carey (Can You Ever Forgive Me?), Dooho Choi (Mickey 17), Lucía Puenzo (The German Doctor), Didar Domehri (VP, Unifrance), and Rob Bullock (The Night Manager). The event also featured lively panel discussions with Oscar-nominated screenwriter Luke Davies (Lion) and Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Lowell Bergman (60 Minutes, The New York Times).
"The Floodlight Summit is the one place where filmmakers can meet with the true heroes of our time: the investigative journalists who repeatedly risk their lives to expose and express the truth. What's equally incredible is the range of their deeply reported, jaw-dropping journalism that spans the globe.”
Erik Jendresen
Screenwriter and Producer (Band of Brothers, Mission Impossible)
This year, Floodlight Gaming launched the world’s first investigative journalism game jam, giving developers access to top-notch reporting to adapt into interactive media and games. The hybrid event took place in Amsterdam in September, showcasing highlights from five game jam finalists.
"Hunting the Hunter"—based on Anas Aremeyaw Anas's undercover investigation into Ghana's cocoa smuggling underworld—won the $5,000 top prize and a mentorship spot in SpielFabrique’s Launchpad Program. Floodlight is also supporting runner-up "Dark Money," based on OCCRP’s Laundromat series.
“Hunting the Hunter winning this award is a powerful reminder that storytelling and innovation can join forces to inspire the next generation. This recognition affirms that the fight against corruption can engage hearts and minds far beyond traditional journalism. Above all, I hope it challenges young people everywhere to believe that they too can use their creativity and courage to make a difference.”
