Corruption survives in the dark. We help bring it into view.

Octore funds investigations that expose Russian-linked corruption across Europe, from hidden assets to the networks that protect them.

From Brussels, Octore commissions research and supports independent partners working in the public interest. When findings are ready for public use, Octore helps bring them before European institutions and into public view.

Independent evidence and public benefit decide what Octore supports.

Corruption crosses borders. Accountability must follow.

Russian-linked corruption moves through European corporate structures and financial channels. Octore helps investigators follow those networks and ensure their evidence reaches the people who can act.

A focused Brussels team works with trusted partners across Europe and the wider region. Some relationships remain confidential where disclosure would create risk.

European Kleptocracy Mapping Programme

Research into how politically connected Russian wealth is held and moved through European structures.

Independent Investigations Fund

Direct support for journalists and research teams examining ownership, sanctions evasion and hidden assets.

Accountability and Evidence Programme

Support for the verification and preservation of material that may be published or used in lawful institutional processes.

The wider accountability landscape

Octore operates in a field defined by investigators and civic organisations who document corruption and evidence of abuses of power. Across Europe, independent newsrooms and international NGOs have built the methods and standards that make that work possible.

Fund the work

Serious investigations need time and legal cover. Octore works with foundations and private donors who treat independence as a condition of giving.
