#UK #media outfit #LondonCentric are living proof of the value of #independentmedia / #localmedia: being local to #London means they can follow up on the ground the many leads of a complex & evolving story, here the #Aziz family who control a large part of commercial & residential #realestate in the capital, and essentially operate on the margins or totally outside legality, while keeping a front through their #philanthropy. This is #investigativejournalism at its best!
