Episode #182: “If you're a millionaire, or a billionaire, you want the best,” says Timo Schober, a German-based journalist who works at Papertrail Media, “and the best is natural grown teak [from Myanmar]...And that's what is driving the demand.”Schober joins the conversation along with Shirsho Dasgupta, an investigative reporter for the Miami Herald. They talk about the decimation of Burma's once vast forest lands which started during colonial times, and today is just 40% of what it once was.After the military coup in 2021, the US imposed sanctions on Myanmar Timber Enterprises (MTE), a military-linked corporation controlling the teak trade. Following a leak from Myanmar's tax department, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) collaborated with 39 media outlets to investigate teak exports and potential sanctions evasion, and their work is the subject of this episode.The international demand for high-quality teak remains strong, particularly among the ultra-rich. At least $400 million worth of teak has been exported since the coup, mainly to European and American markets.Traders argue that they don't buy directly from MTE but through private companies, and therefore their teak trade is legal. This creates complexities for customs officers in enforcing sanctions. Additionally, others believe their actions are legal as they bought teak before the sanctions, though officials state that the date of purchase does not exempt them.At the end of the day, Dasgupta reminds listeners that it comes back to finding a way to speak directly to the consumer about this murky business, as a way to discourage any involvement in teak. “A lot of luxury products that we covered, they do lead to conflict and the destruction of the environment, and we should keep in mind that even if we're not buying teak, we might be complicit in in other ways when we buy

Det store amerikanske museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art i New York, sender snart 15 værdifulde skulpturer i terrakotta, kobber og sten tilbage til Indien. De har nemlig købt den af en tyveri- og smuglerdømt indisk-amerikansk svindler, der nu afsoner en fængselsstraf på 10 år i Indien. Det er en undersøgelse fra International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), et internationalt netværk af undersøgende journalister, der har afdækket, hvordan museet råder over 1.109 stjålne kunstværker fra især tredjeverdenslande, og det er foregået gennem kontakt med kriminelle netværk, der har specialiseret sig i illegal handel med kulturarv. Hvordan kunne det ske - hør direktør på Statens Museum for Kunst, Mikkel Bogh, give et bud. Han fortæller også for første gang, hvordan SMK selv måtte aflevere et værk tilbage. Organisations-teater er beregnet på virksomheder og institutioner, der gerne vil øve sig på en skuespiller, inden de skal fyre medarbejdere eller udføre andre vanskelige opgaver. Skuespillerne får tit at vide, at de ikke er realistiske nok, og det er der en grund til. Kulturens Jesper Dein benytter lejligheden til at øve sig på at blive en bedre interviewer. Vært: Jesper Dein.

The last pod in our summer series takes a look at one of 2022's best pieces of investigative journalism. Since it arrived on our streets over a decade ago, Uber has prided itself on being a "disrupter" with little regard for convention.At the heart of their business model is a fanatical commitment to upend the employer/employee relationship and create a new army of sole contractors working on their tech platform with Uber having no responsibility for them, and with drivers having no rights and entitlements. This high-tech exploitation has made it a massive company that has caused controversy wherever it goes.In July of 2022 the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) dropped a trove of documents and emails from Uber's inner sanctum that reveal how the company was able to curry favour with governments and institutions around the world to achieve its aims. The Uber Files are a stunning insight into how Uber inveigled their way into the realm of prime ministers, presidents, bureaucrats and power brokers to get things done.  Fergus Shiel is the Managing Editor of the ICIJ. He oversaw the Uber Files project. Fergus joined us on the line from his home in Washington DC to discuss the contents of the Uber Files and their implication.   You can now email us with your comments, story ideas, tip-offs, flip offs, and questions - otjpodcast@protonmail.com On the Job is made by Australian Unions.

A massive leak of financial documents, dubbed the “Pandora Papers,” was published by several major news organizations Oct. 3, allegedly tying secret stores of wealth to world leaders including King Abdullah of Jordan, Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis and associates of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The dump of more than 11.9 million records, amounting to about 2.94 terabytes of data, came five years after the leak known as the “Panama Papers” exposed how money was hidden by the wealthy in ways that law enforcement agencies could not detect. The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), a network of reporters and media organizations, said the files are linked to about 35 current and former national leaders, and more than 330 politicians and public officials in 91 countries and territories. “The new data leak must be a wake-up call,” said Sven Giegold, a Green party lawmaker in the European Parliament. “Global tax evasion fuels global inequality. We need to expand and sharpen the countermeasures now.” This article was provided by The Japan Times Alpha.

Kathleen opens the show drinking a Waterslides IPA from 3 Sheeps Brewing in Wisconsin, and a Skrewball peanut butter whiskey shot.“GOOD BAD FOOD”: In her quest for new and delicious not-so-nutritious junk food AND in continuing her search for the best Ranch, Kathleen samples Lays Wavy Funyuns Onion flavored chips, which she thinks just taste like a “mild” sour cream-n-onion flavor. She moves on to taste Sir Kensington's Pizza Ranch Dressing, which she likes but thinks is WAY too tangy, and then she finishes her tasting menu with Hellman's Spicy Dipping Sauce, which she summarizes with an “umm, No.”KATHLEEN'S QUEEN'S COURT: Kathleen provides an update on the Court, reporting that although it's been a quiet week, Cher is commenting on the Twitter account @cherdoingthings.UPDATES: Kathleen gives updates on Facebook's company name change, the duping of Betsy DeVos's family by Elizabeth Holmes, the whereabouts of the missing zebras in Maryland, more bad news for supporters of Christopher Columbus, the release of a flying motorcycle in Japan, and South Dakota becomes a notable tax shelter. CLASS ACTION POP-TARTS: Kathleen laughs as she reads an article advising that a class-action lawsuit has been filed by plaintiff Anita Harris claiming that Kellogg's advertising misleads consumers about the amount of actual fruit in the food and that the presence of Red 40, a synthetic food dye, makes the product's filling "look bright red like it has more strawberries than it does.”THE LEGEND OF POLAND'S SOLDIER BEAR: Kathleen is thrilled to share the story of Wojtek, a Syrian brown bear cub who was by Polish II Corps soldiers who had been evacuated from the Soviet Union and aided in fighting the Nazis. In order to provide for his rations and transportation, he was officially enlisted as a soldier with the rank of private and was subsequently promoted to corporal. KROENKE ABANDONS NFL LAWSUIT: Kathleen isn't surprised reading an article advising that LA Rams' owner Stan Kroenke has informed NFL team owners that he will no longer pay legal fees associated with the Rams move from St. Louis in 2016. Kroenke originally agreed to cover legal fees involved in the relocation, and those bills have stacked up as the NFL has lost multiple motions to the St. Louis Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority.EXTREME COUPON SCAM: Kathleen reads an article about a couple arrested by the FBI in Virginia Beach over their $31.8 million counterfeit coupon scheme. They have been handed a prison sentence for nearly 20 years, combined.TO-GO COCKTAILS BY STATE: Kathleen loves a cocktail, especially one that she can wander with. She updates listeners on a study from the National Restaurant Association, reporting that 26 states - most of the ones that permitted to-go cocktails during the pandemic - have allowed the practice to continue. PANDORA PAPERS: Kathleen reads an article outlining the structure of a new trove of 11.9 million documents, dubbed the Pandora Papers, that contain explosive details about how global elites and billionaires hide their assets. The Pandora Papers are the result of extensive research by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), which expose 600 celebrities and world leaders who stalled their money – or had it done for them – in tax havens. HOMESTEAD ACT – Kathleen is excited to read an article detailing where efforts are being made to take advantage of the growing work-from-home culture to try to revitalize rural communities that are in decline. Financial and tax incentives to new residents are proving to benefit many towns seeking to reverse population loss and rejuvenate their economies.JD SALINGER VOICE RECORDING BURNED: Kathleen reports that the only known recording of J.D. Salinger's voice, created during a 1980 interview with the writer, has been burned.

The world was shocked when the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) published the so-called Pandora Papers last weekend.

Journalist Daoud Kuttab discusses the Pandora Papers, a massive leak of more than 11 million confidential files to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), which revealed the secret offshore holdings of a host of rulers across the Middle East. Jess & Jamal discuss the whitewashing and sportswashing of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), three years after the brutal murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. And the world's “favorite uncle,” the late Israeli PM and President Shimon Peres, was a sexual predator, according to former ambassador and Labor MK Colette Avital.

When we figured out cars were safer with seatbelts, the government took action," said Haugen's written testimony to be delivered to a Senate Commerce subcommittee. "I implore you to do the same here." "The company's leadership knows ways to make Facebook and Instagram safer and won't make the necessary changes because they have put their immense profits before people. Congressional action is needed," she will say. "As long as Facebook is operating in the dark, it is accountable to no one. And it will continue to make choices that go against the common good."

On this episode of Going Underground, we first speak to Fergus Shiel of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) on the release of the Pandora Papers, which implicate 366 high-level public officials and politicians and over 1,000 companies in major tax evasion and the hiding of wealth. He discusses what the super-rich and these politicians have done to the living standards of ordinary people globally, what the papers reveal about the level of financial corruption in Lebanon as 80% of the population struggle in poverty, the massive amount of Russian money ending up in London and the revelations that many in Boris Johnson's Conservative Party have taken donations from Russian oligarchs, the revelations on Tony & Cherie Blair's tax avoidance, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's offshore dealings and much more! Finally, we speak to Gonzalo Boye, the lawyer of the former Catalonian President Carles Puigdemont. He discusses the recent arrest and release of Puigdemont in Sardinia after the triggering of an arrest warrant, Spain's alleged misleading of the European Court of Justice on the Puigdemont case, why Spain is not acting as a democratic state and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez' changing stances on the Catalonia issue, his accusation that Spain is acting like an un-democratic state toward its minorities, smear campaigns against himself, Puigdemont and other Catalonian figures and much more!

On Sunday, October 3, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) published The Pandora Papers, an investigation involving more than 600 journalists from 150 media partners across 117 countries -- including reporters from the Russian investigative outlet iStories. The ICIJ obtained close to 12 million files (nearly three terabytes of documents) from 14 companies that provide offshore services. This massive data leak is even bigger than the Panama Papers, which contained documents from just one law firm. The ICIJ and its partners spent nearly two years combing through the documents and have thus provided an unprecedented look inside the offshore finance industry and its global reach.

The United States has long condemned secretive offshore tax havens where the rich and powerful hide their money. But a burgeoning American trust industry now shelters the assets of wealthy foreigners by promising even greater secrecy and protection. That same secrecy has insulated the industry from meaningful oversight and allowed it to gain new footholds in states like South Dakota and Alaska.The Washington Post and the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) gained unprecedented insight into the money flowing into U.S. trusts through a trove of more than 11.9 million documents, among the largest of its kind, maintained by financial services providers around the world. Their findings are revealed in a new investigation, the Pandora Papers, that exposes how foreign political and corporate leaders or their relatives moved money and other assets from long-established tax havens to obscure trust companies in the United States. In many cases, the assets were connected to individuals or companies accused of fraud, bribery and human rights abuses in some of the world's most vulnerable communities. In this audio report, Post reporter Debbie Cenziper, producer Ted Muldoon and ICIJ reporter Will Fitzgibbon travel from the sugar cane fields of the Dominican Republic to the beaches of California to back rooms of Sioux Falls to examine how this industry came to be, who profits from it and whom it harms.

Hunderte Politiker aus aller Welt verschleiern ihr Vermögen mit Hilfe von Briefkastenfirmen. Das zeigen die Pandora Papers: Millionen von internen Dokumenten von verschiedenen Finanzdienstleistern und Kanzleien. Die Daten wurden dem ICIJ zugespielt, dem International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). Das ICIJ hat die Daten durchsuchbar gemacht und allen an der Recherche beteiligten Medien zur Verfügung gestellt. Woher das ICIJ die Daten hat, sagen sie nicht, um die Quelle zu schützen. Denn in vielen Ländern ist es strafbar, interne Firmendokumente weiterzugeben. Die Pandora Papers geben unter anderem auch Einblick in das geheime Vermögen von zwei engen Freunden und der angeblichen Ex-Geliebten von Wladimir Putin. Oder ist es in Wahrheit sein Geld? Jörg Schmitt aus dem Investigativressort erklärt, welche Spuren aus Putins Umfeld nach Monaco führen - und welche Schlüsse man daraus ziehen kann.

Will Fitzgibbon of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) joins the podcast with an update on last year's FinCEN Files story, including a prison sentence for the whistleblower who leaked the information.

‘If you don’t understand who’s behind a shell company, you’re not going to understand what’s going on with a multi-million-dollar transaction moving across borders.’ Mike Hudson and Spencer Woodman, investigative journalists at the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), talk with Kieran about the 16 months of reporting that went into making sense of the FinCEN files - more than 2000 leaked SARs linking the world’s biggest banks to Jho Low, Paul Manafort, Russian oligarchs, and international crime networks. Mike and Spencer detail their investigative methods and describe the systemic failures that led to billions of dollars of dirty money being funnelled through the global financial system.

You may have heard about the groundbreaking Panama Papers investigation, which exposed how some of the most rich and powerful people around the world used offshore tax havens to conceal their wealth.Former journalist Mar Cabra played a critical role during the groundbreaking investigation, as the head of the data and research unit at the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), the organization that spearheaded the global collaborative effort. She and her colleagues won a Pulitzer Prize for their reporting. The work, however, led Cabra to begin feeling the effects of burnout. A year after the Panama Papers investigation was published, she decided to leave her role at ICIJ to focus more on her own mental well-being. Today, she leads efforts to raise awareness of critical, under-recognized mental health issues with other journalists in today’s fast-paced news industry.Earlier this year, for instance, Cabra helped launch The Self-Investigation, a free online stress management program for journalists.In the sixth and final episode of our Mental Health and Journalism series, Cabra shares with us her personal story, insights on what a health relationship with technology looks like, and how journalists can better manage issues like stress and burnout that threaten their well-being.Support the show (https://www.icfj.org/donate-ijnet-project-icfj)

Last week, the Indian Express released the findings of a new investigation called The FinCEN files. The investigation shows how dirty money travels from one part of the world to another through big banks, and was done in collaboration with over 100 media organisations in 88 countries who had teamed up with Buzzfeed News and the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). In this episode, investigative journalist Ritu Sarin, who was part of the investigation, joins us to breakdown what the investigation reveals, its key findings, the concerns it raises, and the lessons it holds for Indian banks.

Recentemente l'industria bancaria in USA, UK e in Europa è stata svegliata con una doccia fredda. I giornalisti indipendenti dell'International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) e BuzzFeed hanno rilasciato i risultati di un investigazione che hanno condotto nei confronti delle banche.. e i risultati sono gravi: l'accusa è che le banche hanno mosso più di $2 trilioni tra il 1999 and 2017 in transazioni che loro stesse consideravano sospette.Risultati pesanti e che fanno riflettere. I crimini finanziari sono parte integrante del nostro mondo e cercare di combatterli / arginarli deve essere una priorità per il bene comune.Tuttavia non è tutto "oro" quel che luccica. In questa puntata cercheremo di essere un po' più obbiettivi delle due agenzie e faremo anche la parte del diavolo, cercando di capire esattamente di cosa si sta parlando, eliminando pregiudizi e valutando le difficoltà che le banche e le autorità stanno incontrando nella lotta al crimine organizzato.

DARK HAVENS PANEL LEAKING MASSIVE DATASETS: Security, Openness, and Collective Mobilisation Ryan Gallagher (Investigative Reporter & Editor, The Intercept, UK)Friedrich Lindenberg (Data Team Lead, OCCRP, Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, DE)Moderated by Tatiana Bazzichelli (Director, Disruption Network Lab, IT/DE) This panel poses issues of security and openness related to the analysis of data leaks and strategies of indexing data, to journalists, technical experts, researchers, and the larger civic society. In the case of the Panama Papers (April 2016) 11.5 million financial and legal records were leaked in 2015 from the Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca; those were followed by the Bahamas Leaks (September 2016), where 1.3 million internal company register files were leaked; later, the Paradise Papers (November 2017) were a set of 13.4 million leaked confidential electronic documents about offshore investments. This huge amount of information was all leaked to the Süddeutsche Zeitung reporters Frederik Obermaier and Bastian Obermayer, who shared it with the Washington-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) who coordinated a worldwide investigation. Ryan Gallagher (The Intercept) and Friedrich Lindenberg (Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, OCCRP) discuss the ethics of massive data leaks, security and secrecy vs. openness and transparency, as well as source protection and collective mobilisation in the analysis of the material.

Kieran Beer interviews two-time Pulitzer-Prize winning investigative journalist Jake Bernstein about his new book "Secrecy World". Jake was a senior journalist on the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) team that broke the Panama Papers in 2017. His new book "Secrecy World", based on the story of Mossack Fonseca and the 2017 scandal, is about to be made into a major motion picture. "Secrecy World offers a disturbing and sobering view of how the world really works and raises critical questions about financial and legal institutions we may once have trusted." (Amazon) In this podcast, Kieran and Jake talk about how Mossack Fonseca was exposed, and what real-world impact this has had (and is continuing to have) across the globe.

According to Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and National Treasury reports in 2016, it was estimated that a third of Kenya’s national budget was lost through corrupt dealings annually. That would mean that in 2018/19, we can reasonably expect to lose KES 1 trillion, if not more, to corruption. Much of this money ends up in offshore accounts in countries that are tax havens. As at 2007, economists at the American research firm National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) estimated that about 70% of Kenya’s GDP (KES 1.83 trillion in 2007) was stashed abroad, while the think-tank Global Financial Integrity (GFI) estimated in an October 2018 report that Kenya loses about 8% of government revenues annually (above USD 907 million, or KES 78.41 billion, based on the historical exchange rate) to trade misinvoicing by multinationals. We’re joined by Will Fitzgibbon, an investigative journalist at the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), who has worked on the Panama Papers, Paradise Papers and Swiss Leaks, to talk about where our stolen money goes.

Paradise Papers is the name given to a journalistic project organised by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) in Washington DC along with 96 media partners around the world, including The Irish Times. It is one of the largest data leaks in journalistic history, and involves the largest number of documents ever leaked. The leaked documents show how deeply the offshore financial system is entangled with the overlapping worlds of political players, private wealth and corporate giants, including Apple, Nike, Uber and other global companies that avoid taxes through increasingly imaginative bookkeeping maneuvers. Irish Times Legal Affairs Correspondent Colm Keena has been working on the project, and on this podcast he talks to Hugh Linehan about what has been uncovered, including the investments made by famous figures such as Bono and Queen Elizabeth, and the legal advice received by AIB when The Revenue Commissioners requested information about offshore deposits.

Remember the Panama Papers? It was a massive 2015 document leak that exposed a system in which offshore companies enable crime and corruption. The Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation that followed, led by The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), was a collaboration among more than 100 newsrooms across the world. It led to a flurry of resignations and indictments and took down leaders in Iceland and Pakistan. This week, Reveal journalists teamed up with ICIJ for a new bombshell: The Paradise Papers. This time around, the action is centered on more than 13 million confidential files leaked to Suddeutsche Zeitung and shared with the ICIJ’s global team of more than 300 journalists. Many of the confidential documents, emails and voicemails come from Appleby, a Bermuda-based law firm. The leaks shed light on how corporate giants move their cash from one offshore tax haven to another. The Paradise Papers also open questions about Trump’s Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross’ financial ties to Russian companies. And they disclose how Facebook and Twitter received backing from Kremlin-controlled Russian banks. This comes at a time when the two tech giants are facing scrutiny by the U.S. Justice Department and Congress. This global collaboration involves a team of journalists from 67 countries. Reveal is the first U.S. public radio show and podcast to tell the story through audio. Don’t miss this episode, and stay tuned for a series of partners’ text stories on our site in the coming days.

World Policy Institute — Since 2004, World Bank-financed projects have physically or economically displaced an estimated 3.4 million people — forcing them from their homes, taking some or all of their land, and damaging their livelihoods. On the inaugural episode of the Africa Investigates podcast, host Chris Roper speaks with three of the 50 reporters who worked with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), with assistance from the African Network of Centers for Investigative Reporting (ANCIR) and The Huffington Post to investigate how the World Bank continually fails to protect those it seeks to help.
