About

OCCRP Partner Albania

Welcome

Welcome to RRKOKSH (Rrjeti për Raportimin e Krimit të Organizuar dhe Korrupsionit në Shqipëri), your premier investigative media organization committed to shedding light on organized crime and corruption across Albania. Through our online platform at shteg.org, we deliver thorough and impactful journalism that seeks not only to inform but also to drive societal change.

Founded with a vision to enhance transparency and accountability, RRKOKSH operates on the core principles of integrity, impartiality, and relentless pursuit of truth. Our team consists of seasoned journalists, dedicated researchers, and committed professionals who utilize a mix of traditional investigative techniques and modern data analysis tools. This blend of old and new methodologies allows us to produce deep, nuanced reporting that resonates with a wide audience.

Our investigative efforts are greatly strengthened by our strategic partnerships. RRKOKSH works in close collaboration with the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), an internationally recognized network of investigative journalists. This collaboration allows us access to a broader range of resources and expertise, enabling us to tackle complex, cross-border crime and corruption issues effectively. Moreover, our projects and initiatives are supported by the European Endowment for Democracy (EED), which provides us with essential funding and support to carry out our mission.

At RRKOKSH, we believe that an informed public is a powerful force for change. We strive to provide our readers with reliable, meticulously researched stories that expose wrongdoing and hold the powerful accountable. Our reports cover a wide spectrum of issues—from small-scale local corruption to large-scale organized crime networks—highlighting the impacts of these issues on the everyday lives of people and on national governance.
