High-Impact Investigation

I exclusively obtained a video in which some of Honduras’ top drug traffickers met with a member of the first family and offered a bribe of over half a million dollars to help the country’s ruling party. For this project, I partnered with InSight Crime and Univision News to publish written and video reports and reach a wider audience. The investigation received extensive media coverage in leading outlets, such as The Washington Post, Reuters, DW, the BBC, Associated Press, CNN, Le Monde, El País and more. The publication forced the resignation of the secretary of Congress and the minister of defense, and called into question President Xiomara Castro’s decision to suspend an extradition agreement that landed her predecessor in U.S. prison for receiving bribes from drug traffickers.
