April 21, 2024 @marrnyang1, the Founder of Gambia Participates & 7 others were arrested & detained at the GPF HQ in Banjul for several hours. They were planning to have a peaceful Sit-Down Strike in response to the ferry crisis. The police have released them on bail.

On Jan 16, Kyrgyz journalist Aike Beishekeyeva planned to celebrate her 23rd birthday over cake w/colleagues at @TemirovLive.

Instead, they went to jail — part of a crackdown on the independent press in a country once known as the freest in Central Asia.

Excellent piece in LeMondeDiplo in German on Schmidt’s apartheid-like election law.

[Maíra Martini @mairarmartini]

With Russia in the room, @g20org has failed to hold meaningful talks on their role to curb transnational corruption. As if it wasn’t enough that they're ignoring a pressing global challenge, now, CSOs are also prohibited from expressing their views...

We at @anticorruption had planned to welcome #G20 delegates arriving in Bali with a simple reminder that they should #StopKleptocrats.But, after seeing the content of the billboard, the advertising agency changed its mind, citing the governor’s restrictions around the summit.

[Transparency International @anticorruption]

📣 Our #StopKleptocrats petition calls on Western leaders to:

1. break through the barriers to international cooperation
2. rally other governments
3. oblige bankers, real estate agents & others who have valuable information to come forward.

Civil society in Ukraine @TransparencyUA @OTregub - among the best in the world on transparency and tackling corruption. Likely to be targeted by Putin and any puppet regime. Maximum sanctions required now: shame on those who oppose them. #IStandWithUkraine

🔴 #SuisseSecrets are out. Reporting from @OCCRP, @SZ_Investigativ, @guardian & other media outlets reveals previously unknown breaches at one of Switzerland’s largest banks.

Full statement coming soon. First reaction from @mairarmartini ⬇️

Thousands from high corruption risk countries made use of the scheme during the 7 year 'blind faith' period. Investigations and court cases have shown a number of individuals accused of serious wrongdoing were granted 'golden visas', how many more are there that we don't know of?

[Gambia Participates @gmbparticipates]

As the @GambiaAssembly is set to table The Gambia’s Anti-Corruption Bill tomorrow, we call on Parliamentarians to support this progressive Bill to be passed into Law.
The enactment of the AC Bill will be a right step to fight against corruption for a better service delivery.

[Miranda Patrucic @MirandaOCCRP]

The only way to describe recent attacks on Kyrgyz investigative reporter Bolot Temirov and his team -- utter disgust

[Spotlight on Corruption @EndCorruptionUK]

This Bill would have introduced 👉vital reforms to companies house, 👉a register of foreign property owners, and 👉 vital amendments to make the Unexplained Wealth Order regime work properly.

[Spotlight on Corruption @EndCorruptionUK]

Extremely bad and shocking news that government is ditching planned Economic Crime Bill from next Queens Speech. https://t.co/Ty8Gi5jjxK

Most recently one of the foundation acquired 24 percent stake in KCell, a major telecommunications provider in Kazakhstan. It did so through two different entities: Jusan Bank and a Luxembourg entity Pioneer Technologies.

🔵Documents indicate Tagwirei’s staff repeatedly used treasury bills as a source of U.S. dollars -- which were extremely scarce in Zimbabwe -- as and when they were needed.
