“While [the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project] has consistently disclosed that it accepts some money from governments, including the United States, the full extent of the financing has not previously been revealed…The work of OCCRP, often in collaboration with other newsrooms around the world, has been deeply impressive journalistically and at times they have done reporting at odds with U.S. national interests…But the extent to which it has been backed by the U.S. government has caused consternation among would-be or former partners.” —ND
