Scenes from the frontlines
It takes a certain kind of creativity to find the loopholes in laws, set up shell companies and offshore bank accounts, manipulate elections or divert government spending while going undetected. For people with those types of skills, however, there is a lot of money to be made. Stopping them takes creativity of a different kind: spotting patterns in data; finding gaps and anomalies in documents; building alliances and imagining better laws. Join us to meet the minds behind the biggest corruption cases of our time, and those of the people who eventually brought them to light.
