About

Investigative reporter specializing in anti money laundering, corruption and corporate crime. As part of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) in 2022 i worked on the Uber Files, a trove of internal emails, documents and minutes revealing how Uber broke laws, duped police and regulators, and secretly lobbied politicians in Dutch and European governments. In 2021 I worked on the largest collaborative journalistic effort to date: the Pandora Papers, helping to uncover money flows, shell companies and illicit and suspicious transactions made by heads of state, politically exposed persons and entrepreneurs around the globe. In 2020 I investigated one of the largest leaks in banking history: the FinCen Files - a trove of suspicious transactions involving a large Dutch bank and international money laundering schemes. Previously I covered labour market dynamics specializing in the fields of platform economy, Dutch employment law and trade unions.
