Our journalists have worked on some of the most significant crime investigations, bringing to light the hidden networks behind organized crime, cybercrime, corruption, and financial fraud. Together with global investigative networks, we have exposed illicit operations that have sparked legal action, policy reforms, and global debates.

Mission

Paper Trail Media brings together some of the finest investigative journalists specializing in crime and corruption. Our team is dedicated to in-depth, fact-based reporting that sheds light on organized crime, criminal psychology, cybercrime, money laundering, extortion, human trafficking, international crime, and corruption. Through our investigative work, we aim to expose hidden criminal structures, uncover financial fraud, and reveal the human stories behind these crimes.

Our reporters have collaborated with leading investigative journalism networks, including the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), Forbidden Stories, and more. Our revelations have influenced policy, inspired law enforcement actions, and given a voice to those affected by criminal networks.

Paper Trail Media exclusively partners with leading media organizations to amplify our investigations. Additionally, we collaborate with international media houses to ensure our findings reach a global audience.

"Investigative journalism is a pillar of democracy. In an era of misinformation and hidden truths, fearless reporting can expose corruption, hold power to account, and drive real change in the world."
