OCCRP. Crime, Corruption, and Coronavirus
OCCRP. Crime, Corruption, and Coronavirus
Countries around the world are struggling to contain the coronavirus pandemic. But in times of crisis, there are those who seek their own advantage.
Organized criminal groups and corrupt government officials often find new opportunities to consolidate illicit wealth and power. At the same time, existing corruption and criminality make it that much harder for governments to respond to the growing threat.
OCCRP is watching them. This page will bring together our coverage of those who try to benefit from border closures, commodity shortages, delayed court proceedings, and other disruptions caused by this global pandemic. (OCCRP - Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, April 2020)
