In October 2022, Colombian journalist Rafael Moreno was shot dead. Six months
after the assassination, 30 journalists continued his investigations into
allegations of wide scale corruption and environmental damage. With new
evidence, they revealed serious irregularities that confirmed a system of
cronyism in public works contracts and exposed the methods of mining companies
that Moreno was investigating.
