Prague Media Point 2020: Focus on Investigative Journalism in V4 and Western Balkans
Group America, active for decades yet still largely unknown, has been accused of smuggling cocaine, dismembering enemies, assassination of senior government officials, and trading on ties with intelligence agencies. How do you track the operations of a well-disciplined and creative network with a unique business model? The OCCRP consortium has followed Group America for years. Journalists from KRIK (Serbia) and investigace.cz (Czechia) share know-how from the cross-border investigation into the global reach of a dangerous U.S.-Serbian gang.
