Ten Years of the Panama Papers: The Enduring Impact of Meticulous Investigative Journalism
Der Watergate-Skandal zeigte, wie zwei beharrliche Reporter durch das Verfolgen von Geldspuren Ungerechtigkeit aufdecken konnten. Zehn Jahre später, im Kontext der Panama Papers, standen 400 Journalisten vor einer monumentalen Aufgabe: das Sichten und Verfolgen gigantischer Datenmengen, um ein Netzwerk aus Steuerbetrug und Geldwäsche zu entwirren. Während sich die Werkzeuge und Methoden der investigativen Journalisten weiterentwickelt haben, um solch komplexe Fälle zu bewältigen, sind leider auch die Taktiken und technologischen Möglichkeiten ihrer Gegner nicht stehen geblieben.
