Lucas Villa, a 37-year-old student, was fatally shot at a peaceful protest in Pereira, Colombia, in May

Bellingcat, @ForensicArchi @cerosetenta & @BaudoAP reconstructed the incident, finding new clues & raising questions about how it has been investigated bellingcat.com/news/2021/12/0…
@ForensicArchi @cerosetenta @BaudoAP The brutal incident caused outrage in Colombia, which had been engulfed in protests over proposed tax reforms

Yet seven months on, Lucas Villa’s killers remain at large
@ForensicArchi @cerosetenta @BaudoAP Bellingcat and partners were aided by hitherto unseen CCTV footage shared by Colombia’s Truth Commission as well as social media video taken at the scene.

This allowed us to forensically reconstruct the incident

6 letters of graffiti in a photo for only seven minutes – that's all it took for @ColborneMichael to start following a trail in Serbia that led right to US white supremacist Robert Rundo – a man Serbian authorities kicked out of the country in February.
bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-eu…
In November 2020 @ColborneMichael showed how US white supremacist Rob Rundo was building a base for himself and his activities in the Serbian capital.
bellingcat.com/news/2020/11/1…
A few months later, in February 2021, Serbian authorities expelled him from the country into Bosnia. Since then Rundo's laid low, assumed to be in Bosnia. But after one of his far-right comrades described him publicly as being "on the run again," we wondered where he could be.

Bellingcat delved into the German-language QAnon ecosystem to track the conspiracy's spread in Europe.

Trends observed included an interest in open source investigative tools that appeared influential in creating new & potentially harmful conspiracies.

bellingcat.com/news/2021/11/2…
The research gathered millions of posts from Telegram channels that regularly shared QAnon-related content. Image
It found that many of the same conspiracies, as well as mantras encouraging self learning and independent online discovery popular in English language QAnon communities, were also apparent in German language QAnon channels.

Today, Bellingcat & @the_ins_ru publish “Inside #Wagnergate” – a year-long investigation that establishes the circumstances around the Ukrainian operation to capture dozens of mercenaries who fought for Russia-supported military entities in Eastern Ukraine bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-eu…
We have established that the elaborate sting was conducted by Ukraine’s military intelligence service, GUR MOU, with support of the domestic intelligence agency, the SBU.
The plan was presented to Ukraine’s political leadership in June '20 & approved in early July '20
But the decision to delay the op in late July led to its spectacular demise
The mercenaries were detained in Belarus before they could be captured by Ukraine & repatriated to Russia
