Vulnerabilities
Several years ago, Slovak journalist Ján Kuciak began investigating organized crime in his country but he was shot to death before he and his colleagues at OCCRP published their findings. Kuciak’s murder highlighted Slovakia’s vulnerabilities to the nexus of crime and political corruption. New findings on this deadly linkage are now revealed in an article by OCCRP and its partners.
Europe is rapidly warming and Croatian cities are no exception to this. However local authorities’ lack of interest in the increase of average temperatures does not help determining people’s vulnerabilities to the phenomenon.
Disinformation campaigns, dubious practices on social media, hackings, murkey financing of political campaigns: some reports and inquiries suggested Russian interference with the integrity of democratic processes. Russians or not new structural vulnerabilities to our democracies are there for anyone to exploit. In the next few months, OBCT, within the ESVEI project, will run a number of articles, interviews, guest posts, and reports focusing in particular on the policies and practices that can mitigate these risks.
Call: OBCT together with ECPMF and other organizations launched a call for justice and accountability of state authorities in Slovakia on the anniversary of the murder of investigative journalist Ján Kuciak
