Who killed Russian politician Boris Nemtsov?

Last Monday — as Will Smith slapped Chris Rock — @bellingcat, @the_ins_ru & us at #BBCEyeInvestigations released an investigation that uncovered new important evidence.

This thread tells you what we found...

#NemtsovsShadow Image In the evening of February 27th, 2015, Boris Nemtsov — a fierce critic of Putin — was shot dead on a bridge in the shadow of the Kremlin.

Five Chechens were jailed for the murder, but the key questions of who hired them for that and why remained unanswered.

In the evening of February 27th, 2015, Russian politician Boris Nemtsov — a fierce critic of Putin — was shot down on a bridge in the shadow of the Kremlin.

Five Chechens were jailed for the murder, but the key questions of who hired them for that and why remained unanswered. Seven years later, an investigation by our team #BBCEyeInvestigations — working with @bellingcat and @the_ins_ru — reveals that, in the year running up to his murder, Nemtsov was being shadowed by a government agent linked to a secret assassination squad.

The Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF) responded with wild claims devoid of any substantial evidence to the forensic investigations done by #BBCAfricaEye, @bellingcat, @Newsy, @CNN & @amnesty on the Mahbere Dego massacre in #Tigray.

The section that is about the media investigations into the Mahbere Dego massacre starts at 45:45 and ends at 53:00 in this YouTube video:

Will Crowd1 make you a millionaire or penniless?

For months, #BBCAfricaEye and @AyandaCharlie_ investigated this company. Under the shiny surface, we found some ugly truths, wealthy scammers, and a whole pyramid of lies.

This is the real story of #Crowd1 and the #PyramidKings. This is how it starts.

Someone sends you a message about an amazing opportunity - an easy way to make money with nothing more than your smartphone and some hustle.

You just came across the company @_beofficial and are thinking about investing with them?

A thread about why it would be a bad idea to do that and give money to its founders, the Islam brothers. Last May, website (befactor.com) of the new Dubai-based company @_beofficial and its related social media accounts went live.

On all cool #OSINT techniques & tools I come across over the rest of my life.

That's what happened when you get bored on a Saturday afternoon after trying to understand some advanced image forensics.

Also aiming to make this the longest thread in @Twitter history. @Twitter Re image forensics, let's begin with #photogrammetry.

Here is a brilliant article by @Sector035, explaining how to measure the distance between an object in a photo and the camera that took the photo.

@OsintCurious is a great resource by the way!
