#TheLaundromat movie, based on the true story of the #PanamaPapers, premiered in Venice yesterday. We're looking forward to seeing it! 🍿🎞️ Steven Soderbergh quote: The kind of corruption that we are discussing is a defining issue of this moment. [...] And I think transparency is the only solutiotn.
It tells a story of hidden wealth, #moneylaundering and #corruption - one that could not be told without the courageous work of whistleblowers and investigative journalists around the world. bit.ly/2lsUdY3

⚡️ Good anti-corruption news from 2023 ⚡️

While anti-corruption progress tends to be slow, this year has yielded some good news!

🧵 Here's a thread with some of the wins we helped achieve ⬇️ In the image, we see a colorful background and a blue thread. The text says: 2023. A thread of good news only. Transparency International.
In February, the European Court of Human Rights ruled in favour of #LuxLeaks whistleblower. The public interest in leaking the data showing how multinationals constructed complex strategies to avoid paying taxes outweighed the detrimental effect. icij.org/investigations…
In March, thanks to @Transparency_GE & CSOs in raising awareness, the government withdrew its controversial 'foreign agents' law. The legislation would have had a serious negative impact on the space for civil society & independent media in the country. bbc.com/news/world-eur…

On this International #RightToKnow Day, we’re reiterating our call on governments who committed to trace the assets from kleptocratic to publicly share measures they’ve taken. ⬇️
Disappointed that governments do not make this information available systematically & proactively, together with our chapters & partners we sent requests to 20 jurisdictions. We asked about financial sanctions imposed, investigations started & assets targeted.
Surely, we thought, this information would be easy to provide (SPOILER ALERT: it wasn't). For public authorities to know that measures are working & effective, they need to be tracked.

But 7 countries did not respond at all, while 2 refused to provide responses. ⬇️

🇪🇺 EU countries have had YEARS to adapt the Whistleblowing Directive into national laws. Only a few did it on time. Many have done it over a year after the deadline (Dec 2021). As of this day, this is the situation. ⬇️ 2/5 This is a map of EU countries and the status transposing the

Our partners @OCCRP have announced one end of year award you wouldn’t want to win...

This year’s Corrupt Person of the Year is Yevgeny Prigozhin, a Russian oligarch who controls the mercenary Wagner Group. occrp.org/en/poy/2022/
Prigozhin built his wealth similarly to many other oligarchs, even serving a jail term for robbery as a young man – but later in life he turned to geopolitics when he began using his Internet Research Agency to spread disinformation, including interfering in the US.
In 2014, the Wagner Group arose after Russia’s initial attack on Ukraine. While Prigozhin’s precise connection to the group’s beginnings is opaque, he now proudly asserts ownership of the organisation that has been linked to numerous human rights abuses around the world.

🔵 Not even two months after #Cyprus opened up its beneficial ownership register to the public, we are already seeing the benefits of knowing who really owns companies. 🧵
A new @OCCRP investigation has uncovered a network of shell companies – mostly registered in #Cyprus – controlled by a man likely acting as Russian banker Andrei Kostin’s proxy.

A couple of months ago, this investigation would have hit a dead end. occrp.org/en/asset-track…
Back in March, we became concerned that the government of Cyprus was further delaying opening its beneficial ownership register to the public.

At that time, the country was already 4+ years behind on its EU commitment to establish such a register.
