The unique model we’ve developed allows regional re- porters who know their countries better than anyone to come to us and get the editors, programmers, researchers, and re- sources they need to do great cross-border investigations . Think of us as the Uber or AirBnB of journalism – we don’t have our own reporters, but we’ve built the infrastructure that lets them reach new heights .

  • How Does Whistleblowing and Leaking Affect Anti-Money
    How Does Whistleblowing and Leaking Affect Anti-Money Laundering Policy Changes in the European Union? By Tibor Rácz Submitted to: Central European University Department of Economics and Business In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of the Masters of Arts in Economic Policy in Global Markets Supervisor: György Bőgel Budapest, Hungary 2019 CEU eTD Collection Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this Thesis to detect whether whistleblowing and exposed leaks are triggers for anti-money laundering policy changes and analyze those changes in the European Union and in some of the Member States of the European Union. Design/Methodology/Approach: Literature review, analysis of recent scandals and the policy responses. Additionally I conducted an interview with the member of the cabinet of Věra Jourová, European Commissioner for Justice, and Consumers and Gender Equality. I also analyzed news, investigative articles, and leaked database connected to money laundering schemes. Findings: Such giant leaks like the Panama Papers, revealed three years ago, has serious impacts on policy making, even in the anti-money laundering field in the European Union. The purpose of money laundering is to hide the origin and legalize dirty money, therefore without insider information, for example transfers from banks and mails would be very hard to know about the process and regulate the field. Money laundering is also a threat not just for the financial sector but the whole economy. Originality/Value: The topic is original, because this connection between leaks and anti-money laundering policy changes has rarely been subject of research that was also one of the limitations of the Thesis.

Depuis la nuit du 3 avril 2016, un groupe de recherche international de journalistes révèle jour après jour la substantifique moelle de 11,5 millions de documents représentant 2,6 teraoctets de données. Il s'agit de la plus importante divulgation en nombre jusqu'à ce jour, en se focalisant sur les noms des personnalités présumées frauder le fisc en dissimulant 'leur' argent dans les 'paradis' (enfers) fiscaux. Mais il faut avoir à l'esprit qu'il s'agit aussi pour beaucoup de détournements de fonds publics, de commissions occultes et donc de corruption, de marchés truqués et donc de rackets d'entreprises payant pour décrocher un contrat. Le but principal de ces fonds off-shore est et de loin de blanchir l'argent issu de telles pratiques, mais aussi celle des trafics illégaux, drogues et armes au premier chef. Une petite minorité de ces sociétés-écrans cachent le financement d'opérations secrètes (espionnage).

  • Patchy Progress in Setting up Public Beneficial Ownership Registers in the Eu
    PATCHY PROGRESS IN SETTING UP PUBLIC BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REGISTERS IN THE EU The EU’s 5th Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Directive requires all Members States to set up a centralised register of the ultimate, or so-called ‘beneficial’, owners of companies and make this information available to the public. Countries were given more than two years to implement these changes, meaning that the registers should have been up and running by 10 January 2020. Global Witness has found progress has been at best patchy with only five having fully and properly done so. The 5th update to the AML Directive came as a inspectors – and public registers are a way of result of the Panama Papers leak in 2016, making this more difficult. which led to the resignations of political We wrote to all EU Member States and leaders and the demise of the law firm and analysed publicly available information to corporate services provider at the heart of find out how well countries are doing in the story – Mossack Fonseca.
