Portfolio, 2022
Aperçu
Learn about one of the most shocking cases of maritime insurance fraud – and the corruption that enabled it.
Recommendation
The world economy depends on shipping for the movement of global goods. Yet this international industry lacks transparency, with those in power hiding lawless and corrupt practices from the public, explain award-winning journalists Matthew Campbell and Kit Chellel. They spent more than four years investigating one of the most complex and ambitious cases of maritime fraud: the burning of the cargo ship Brillante Virtuoso. Risking their own lives to tell the story, Campbell and Chellel examine falsified reports, a purported pirate attack and a real murder, shedding much-needed light onto a shadowy industry.
