The @OCCRP's Research & Data team began a 6-month investigation of foreign property ownership in Dubai with a daunting number: 4,515,313 individual data points. Here’s how the team turned a messy stew of fragmented information into a global investigation: buff.ly/3y7PWiu

Verifying the identities of 100s of criminals, peps, OC figures, and their 1,000s of properties is no small feat, and I’m so proud of the team that pulled it off. And my jaw is still on the floor after @aiganysh_aidar did some OSINT magic to identify a unit in the Burj Khalifa
Drug lords. Notorious politicians. Terrorism financiers. In the gleaming cityscape of Dubai, some of the world’s wealthy most wanted have taken advantage of secrecy, lax regulations & a hot property market. Who are they? Come see. Welcome to #DubaiUnlocked.

A Skopje judge ruled against our member center @IRLMacedonia in a defamation case brought by a businessman named in an investigation about air pollution IRL co-published with OCCRP. IRL's Saska Cvetkovska explains the ruling, which our publisher @DrewOCCRP called "outrageous."
