Hello from the OCCRP newsroom,

You’re invited to join a webinar commemorating the fifth anniversary of the murder of Slovak journalist Ján Kuciak. It will be held on Wednesday, February 22, 2023, at 16:00 CET / 10:00 EST.

The one-hour virtual event will include time for the audience to ask questions.

This event is open to OCCRP Accomplices. By making a donation, you will gain access to webinars like these as well as other membership benefits. Contributions go directly toward funding our global network of investigative journalists.

When Kuciak was murdered on February 21, 2018, along with his fiancee, Martina Kušnírová, our network leapt into action to expose their killers and continue the reporting he was unable to complete. In the past five years, OCCRP has:

• Published an award-winning investigation about the alleged mastermind of the assassination.
• Expanded on Kuciak's reporting in other investigations, including on Italian organized crime.
• Opened the Kočner Library in Bratislava, where journalists can access over 70 terabytes of records related to the police investigation into the murders.
• Produced a documentary about the corruption that allowed the accused killer to act with impunity for years.

OCCRP’s Central Europe Editor Pavla Holcová and Investigace.cz reporter Eva Kubániová — both of whom worked with Kuciak — will discuss the Slovak journalist’s legacy in a live discussion moderated by Ilya Lozovsky, a senior OCCRP editor.

You will receive a Zoom registration link once you make a donation. Please reach out to me with any questions. We look forward to seeing you at the event!

Regards,
Charles Turner
