This investigation reveals a four-year disinformation operation using fake accounts to manipulate Moroccan public opinion and sway elections. The coordinated network attacks political rivals to benefit Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch's party while spreading false information.

As falconry has become a multimillion-dollar international industry that stretches around the world, an investigation by the Guardian and Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism (ARIJ) shows that it is fed by a shadow industry of the smuggling and illegal capture of wild birds

In this investigation, we reveal the true identity of Abu Sultan and show how he worked under military cover and used social media to build up a network of intermediaries and agents operating between Egypt and Libya to smuggle minors and other migrants to Europe on rickety boats. He also used this trade to launder money and thereby avoid suspicion.

This investigation reveals how delivery companies in Egypt mistreat their couriers by classing them as “independent workers” rather than employees. Doing so allows companies to evade responsibility toward their workers, namely in terms of social insurance and compensation in case of accidents. And it enables them to impose harsh working conditions without legal protection. This method of employment exploits legal loopholes and takes advantage of weak official oversight of company practices.

This investigation shows how touristic projects have expanded along Egypt's north-west coast. Some of the projects are owned by Egyptian and Gulf businessmen and sovereign wealth funds in the Gulf states, and some are funded by Egyptian government investment. The growth of these developments has coincided with a marked increase in the rate of coastal erosion in the area. All the while, public space access on the beaches of Alexandria is increasingly being taken over by paid-for touristic business projects

This investigation shows how the communications department of Syrian military intelligence managed to obtain data of customers of the telecoms companies Syriatel and MTN Syria during President Bashar al Assad’s regime. This not only breached the privacy of the customers, but enabled the former regime to keep tabs on its political opponents.

A nine-month cross-border investigation reveals that Europe’s used-clothing system, touted as sustainable, is fueling a hidden, carbon-intensive trade that shifts environmental costs abroad. Through exclusive trade data, a designated carbon footprint analysis, AirTag tracking, and exclusive customs documents, we expose how fast-fashion overproduction, legal loopholes, weak enforcement, and opaque logistics have turned clothing circularity into a climate liability.
