Overview

OCCRP Aleph is a sophisticated data platform developed by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) to serve as a global archive for investigative reporting. It aggregates an immense collection of current and historical databases, leaked documents, and various investigations, providing journalists with a centralized hub to uncover complex networks of crime and corruption. The platform allows users to search across hundreds of datasets from numerous countries, identifying people, companies, and other entities involved in illicit activities.

The core value proposition of Aleph lies in its ability to connect disparate pieces of information, enabling journalists to visualize relationships, trace financial flows, and expose political influence. Users can set up alerts for new data, upload their own documents for analysis and collaboration, and compare entities in bulk against the platform's vast datasets. While public records are accessible to all, accredited journalists gain access to an exclusive archive of leaked evidence, making Aleph an indispensable tool for in-depth, cross-border investigative work.
