Just last week, OCCRP exposed serious problems in the murky market for rapid COVID-19 antibody tests by collaborating with it's member centers and partners in Macedonia, Italy, Russia, Serbia, and Indonesia.
To tackle these global stories that affect local audiences, OCCRP is leading the way in networked investigative journalism for the public good. Take “Fraud Factory,” another story we broke earlier this year, which exposed a multi-country network of call-center scammers who sold fake investments to vulnerable people in more than 20 countries, from the Arctic Circle to the Ecuadorian Amazon. Some of these victims lost everything.
With it's member centers and publishing partners in Ukraine, Albania, Georgia, the Czech Republic, and Latin America, along with OCCRP expert in-house researchers and fact-checkers, OCCRP published stories in over a dozen media outlets. Swedish authorities opened an investigation into the group and were able to trace connections between the call center and government officials in Albania and Georgia.
It is these working relationships and the trust OCCRP have built with journalists all over the world that make it possible for it to work with people in so many different countries — collaborations that lead to increased impact and results.
