The best source for gender-specific data on injuries and deaths linked to medical devices should be the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The FDA collects that information in “adverse event” reports filed by manufacturers, doctors and others when a device has harmed a patient – or has experienced a malfunction that would lead to harm if it were to recur. An ICIJ analysis of this data identified more than 83,000 deaths and 1.7 million injuries linked to medical devices.

Yet the FDA won’t make gender information public. An agency spokeswoman told ICIJ that revealing gender or age would violate patient confidentiality rules and that more broadly, “conclusions can not be drawn” about sex-specific differences in adverse event rates, because the reports themselves often contain unverified and incomplete information.

How the Panama Papers spooked Colombia’s elite to own up about their wealth  - ICIJ
▻https://www.icij.org/investigations/panama-papers/how-the-panama-papers-spooked-colombias-elite-to-own-up-about-their-wealth

researcher Juliana Londoño Vélez […] matched the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists’ Offshore Leaks data with detailed tax filings of more than 1,200 Colombians.

The publication of the Panama Papers, and a voluntary disclosure program aimed at encouraging taxpayers to report hidden assets, also made Colombian citizens more forthcoming about assets. Londoño-Vélez found that the Panama Papers “induced a ninefold increase” (an 830 percent spike) in what taxpayers disclosed to the Colombian tax agency about all their wealth halfway through the voluntary disclosure program that began in 2015.

’Africa’s Satellite’ Avoided Millions Using A Very African Tax Scheme - ICIJ

The New Dawn Satellite was proudly African – partly funded by local investors and promoted as a way for African schoolchildren, nurses, civil servants and businesses to access world-class internet and mobile phone networks.

But if its purpose was to promote African development, its tax strategy did exactly the opposite.

The companies behind the New Dawn Satellite channeled millions of dollars in payments from African companies and governments through offshore companies in Mauritius, one of the continent’s premier tax havens.

Plusieurs scandales internationaux en matière d’évasion fiscale sont venus ces dernières années mettre en lumière le rôle des journalistes d’investigation pour dénoncer les abus des gouvernements et des multinationales. Malgré ce qu’on pourrait croire, ce rôle joué par le journalisme d’investigation n’a rien de nouveau, comme l’explique Anya Schiffrin, journaliste et enseignante américaine, auteure d’un recueil d’articles d’investigation issus du monde entier.
