@OCCRP Excellent work and a fantastic piece of storytelling 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

After a Romanian businesswoman was tricked into sending $2.5 million to a scammer posing as Dubai’s Crown Prince, OCCRP followed his digital breadcrumbs … all the way to his new mansion in Abuja, Nigeria. Check out the video here: buff.ly/WJVeDOs Editor's Note: A previous version of this video was removed by YouTube because it briefly displayed a telephone number in a text message from the fake "Crown Prince." OCCRP expects the video to be reinstated pending appeal, but due to considerable viewer interest in the video, we are re-posting a new version of our investigation without the phone number.

Internet blackouts are a tactic: cut the signal, control the narrative. Tanzania did that after the Oct 2025 election. CIR reviewed 180+ videos showing shootings, beatings and potential mass graves. Exactly what the government didn't want you to see. Here’s what we found 👇/1

@lpolgreen I’ve got a valid US visa but am grateful that my country (SA) is playing in Mexico. Now I can actually consider attending.

This is such a good point. Americans have no idea how humiliating it is to try to get a visa to the US if you come from even a middle income country, never mind a poor one, even if you are highly educated and affluent.

The abuse and killing in Saudi Arabia suffered by African women in particular is done with the complicity of African governments, again and again nytimes.com/2025/12/04/wor…

I think it’s time, in 2025, to say out loud that people are no longer reading – not in the way they used to. The decline in reading is an existential challenge to an organisation like amaBhungane, whose journalists spend months, putting themselves and their sources at risk, in order to bring critical information to light in long-form, written articles.  That’s why we’ve created a new position at amaB: Production & Digital Engagement Coordinator. We’re looking for someone who can bring our investigations to life through social media, graphics, videos, podcasts or live events. We want someone who is passionate about investigative journalism, loves our work, and wants to help us reach more people. If that sounds like you, we want to hear from you. Deadline: Friday 12 December. amabhungane.org/amabhungane-is…

Nedbank has agreed to pay R600-million to Transnet to settle a court case over the bank’s State Capture-era deals and its inappropriate, seven-year relationship with Regiments Capital. But Transnet wasn’t the first stop: our 2021 investigation – backed by hundreds of emails and documents–traced Nedbank and Regiments’ dirty journey through City of Joburg, City of Tshwane and Acsa before they finally arrived at Transnet’s head office at the Carlton Centre. At most SOEs, the modus operandi was the same: Regiments would get appointed as an advisor, then advise the SOE to enter into a series of often unnecessary interest rate swaps on its loans, which would generate huge fees for the banks who agreed to act as counterparty. Regiments would collect both its advisory fee and, secretly, an introduction fee or commission from the bank. But these deals were high risk – that, famously called derivatives “financial weapons of mass destruction” – as Regiments’ clients soon discovered. In 2012, Acsa paid almost a billion rand to unwind two interest rate swaps Regiments had advised it to take. Acsa, which runs South Africa’s airports, was forced to pay R494-million to Nedbank and R425-million to Standard Bank to undo the damage Regiments had caused.
