Here's a thing I published a month-ish ago with @dago on one the largest prosecution of humanitarian rescuers in Europe to date. Smuggling charges, possible ten year sentences, hacked phones, undercover police, a whole lot of wiretaps, and one big leaked court file that tells the whole story: https://theintercept.com/2022/12/21/italy-iuventa-humanitarian-rescue/
Hacked Phones, Undercover Cops, and Conspiracy Theories: Inside Italy’s Crackdown on Humanitarian Rescue

Leaked records reveal how far authorities were willing to go to dig up dirt on NGOs saving lives at sea, from the Iuventa to Save the Children and MSF.

#introduction - helloooooo I'm here from another instance.

(And yes, somehow I managed to mess up the migration. Don't ask.)

I'm an investigative journalist from the US and based in Barcelona. Bylines at the Intercept, the Guardian, Atavist, Politico EU and others - I've covered a lot to do with European Union border policing and the development and sale of dystopian toys for police in Europe.
