Last updated: 29 July 2026
Project Truth International welcomes information concerning corruption, sanctions evasion, organised crime, financial misconduct, abuse of power, institutional failures, and other matters of legitimate public interest.
You do not need to have a complete investigation before contacting us. A document, transaction, name, company, timeline, or unexplained connection may be enough for our editorial team to begin assessing the information.
What You Can Send
Useful submissions may include:
- court records or official documents;
- contracts, invoices, financial records, or transaction details;
- corporate ownership information;
- sanctions-related documents;
- procurement or public spending records;
- internal correspondence;
- photographs, video, audio, or location data;
- evidence of conflicts of interest;
- information about individuals, companies, or institutions involved;
- explanations of how a scheme or decision operates;
- information that helps verify or challenge a published claim.
Please provide original files where possible rather than screenshots or edited copies.
What to Include
To help us assess the information, please explain:
- what happened;
- when and where it happened;
- which individuals or organisations may be involved;
- how you obtained or learned the information;
- why you believe it is accurate;
- why the matter is in the public interest;
- what documents or evidence support it;
- whether the information has already been published elsewhere;
- whether there are any immediate safety or legal concerns.
Please distinguish clearly between what you know directly, what you believe, and what you have heard from others.
Before You Contact Us
Do not break the law, place yourself in danger, or access systems or documents without authorisation in order to obtain information for us.
Do not send material that you know you are legally prohibited from sharing.
Project Truth International does not encourage hacking, theft, unlawful surveillance, impersonation, or any other illegal method of obtaining information.
If the material may expose you or another person to serious risk, contact us first with a brief description before sending documents.
Confidentiality
We take source protection seriously and limit access to sensitive information where appropriate.
However, no communication method can guarantee complete security, confidentiality, or anonymity.
Ordinary email may reveal information such as:
- your email address;
- your IP address;
- device or account information;
- metadata contained in attached files;
- details that may identify you through the content of your message.
Do not use a work account, employer-owned device, or organisational network if doing so may place you at risk.
Before sending highly sensitive information, review your personal security and consider obtaining independent legal or digital-security advice.
Anonymous Submissions
You may contact us without providing your full identity.
Anonymous information may still be considered, particularly where it includes specific and verifiable evidence. However, anonymity may make it more difficult for us to:
- assess credibility;
- ask follow-up questions;
- verify the origin of documents;
- understand the full context;
- inform you about the progress of our review.
We may need to understand how a source obtained the information even where the source’s identity is not published.
Documents and Metadata
Files may contain hidden metadata, including:
- the name of the author or account owner;
- the device or software used;
- dates and editing history;
- location information;
- document properties;
- identifying details contained in filenames.
Removing metadata does not guarantee anonymity and may also remove information needed to verify authenticity.
If source protection is important, contact us before sending original files so that an appropriate method of transfer can be discussed.
How We Assess Submissions
Receiving information does not mean that Project Truth International accepts it as accurate.
Submitted material may be assessed through:
- document authentication;
- comparison with official records;
- independent source verification;
- open-source research;
- technical analysis;
- requests for comment;
- legal and editorial review.
Documents are not treated as genuine solely because they appear official.
We also consider whether information may have been altered, fabricated, taken out of context, selectively disclosed, or submitted for political, personal, or commercial reasons.
Public Interest
We prioritise information that may help:
- expose corruption, crime, deception, or serious misconduct;
- identify misuse of public money or authority;
- reveal sanctions evasion or concealed ownership;
- protect public safety;
- demonstrate serious institutional failure;
- establish accountability;
- correct materially false public claims;
- explain matters with significant consequences for the public.
Personal disputes, unsupported accusations, and information concerning purely private matters may fall outside our editorial remit unless there is a clear public-interest dimension.
What Happens After Submission
Our editorial team may:
- request further information;
- verify the documents or claims independently;
- contact other sources;
- seek a response from individuals or organisations concerned;
- decide not to proceed;
- use the information as part of a wider investigation;
- publish findings where the evidence and public interest justify publication.
Submitting information does not guarantee:
- a reply;
- an investigation;
- publication;
- confidentiality;
- payment;
- return or deletion of submitted materials;
- acceptance of conditions imposed by the sender.
We may be unable to explain why a submission is not pursued, particularly where doing so could reveal editorial methods, legal advice, security concerns, or information about other sources.
Payment
Project Truth International does not pay for allegations, testimony, or confidential information.
Reasonable expenses may be considered only in exceptional circumstances and must not influence the substance, direction, or outcome of our reporting.
Publication and Right of Reply
Before publishing significant criticism or serious allegations, we normally provide the affected person or organisation with an appropriate opportunity to respond.
Information submitted to us may therefore be described or presented to relevant parties where necessary to verify the claims and ensure fairness.
We take reasonable steps to avoid unnecessarily revealing the identity of a confidential source during this process.
