WE SEEK TO EXPOSE SYSTEMS AND NETWORKS
THAT ENABLE CORRUPTION TO THRIVE IN EUROPE.

To this end, our activities spotlight, in a consistent and sustained manner,
the relationships among NGOs, EU officials, and kleptocrats.
The NGO Watchlist identifies suspicious NGOs and investigates their funders, and links to government influence.
IEI sheds light on activities and relationships that erode governments' abilities to foster and support transparency and democratic values. 
Europe must protect its reputation as a regulatory superpower on the world stage by not turning a blind eye to unexplained wealth and networks of illicit or malign financial influence surviving and thriving in its home jurisdictions.

Without strong watchdog institutions,

impunity becomes the very foundation upon which systems of corruption are built. And if impunity is not demolished, all efforts to bring an end to corruption are in vain. “ — Rigoberta Menchú, Nobel Prize laureate.
