Evidence does not act alone. Octore gives independent investigators the funding, expertise and institutional routes needed to turn findings into pressure for accountability.
Octore supports enquiries into hidden ownership, illicit finance, politically connected wealth and sanctions evasion. The work also examines how European corporate and banking structures can be misused.
Support covers essential research logistics and necessary legal review. Octore backs investigations designed for public exposure or direct regulatory action.
Octore funds frontline investigative teams and independent public-interest organisations. Support responds to the practical conditions that determine whether work can continue.
A grant may cover a specific inquiry. It may also allow an organisation to retain capacity during a difficult period. Where necessary, Octore connects partners with specialist legal counsel and operational security support.
Octore translates complex research into accessible briefings and educational formats. We ensure these findings reach both European policymakers and the wider public.
The purpose is to show how Russian-linked corruption affects institutions outside Russia.
Octore brings together people working across jurisdictions where that exchange can strengthen a case or improve a response. It helps credible findings reach institutional and professional audiences.
We facilitate these connections while maintaining absolute editorial independence.
Octore assesses whether the work has a genuine public purpose and whether its organisers have the credibility to deliver it. It considers the feasibility of the plan, the independence of the applicant and the risks created for people or sensitive material.
If the work cannot meet those conditions, Octore declines.
