Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project

OCCRP is a global network of investigative journalists with staff across

six continents and hubs in Washington, D.C., Amsterdam, and Sarajevo. We

are an independent, mission-driven newsroom, working across borders and

publishing stories that expose organized crime and corruption.

MISSION: By developing and equipping a global network of investigative

journalists and publishing their stories, OCCRP exposes crime and

corruption so the public can hold power to account.

VISION: A world where lives, livelihoods, and democracy are not threatened

by crime and corruption.

As an investigative reporting platform for a worldwide network of

independent media centers <https://www.occrp.org/en/members> and

journalists, OCCRP is reinventing investigative journalism as a public

good. In the face of rising costs and growing threats to independent media,

OCCRP provides media outlets and journalists with a range of critical

resources and tools including digital and physical security and allows

those covering the most sensitive topics to work in teams with trusted

editors.

While upholding the highest journalistic ethics and editorial standards,

OCCRP develops and deploys cutting-edge tech tools to enable collaborative,

secure data-driven investigations. With OCCRP Aleph

<https://aleph.occrp.org/>, an investigative data platform powered by

software we developed, journalists can search and cross-reference more than

three billion records to trace criminal connections and patterns and

efficiently collaborate across borders.

OCCRP also partners with advocacy groups <https://www.occrp.org/en/gacc/>,

arming civil society with information to meaningfully press for justice and

change, and unearths evidence that enables law enforcement to act.

We see a future where corruption and organized crime are drastically

reduced and democracy is strengthened as a result of a more informed

citizenry, increased accountability, and sharply higher costs for criminal

activity.
