The Breach’s investigations don’t just inform our readers—they force the powerful to react.
An exposé on blood plasma privatization led to national headlines. Our revelations about the government’s cozy connections to Big Pharma sparked a parliamentary probe. A report on high-tech price-fixing by mega landlords resulted in a criminal investigation.
From activists to elected officials, people are using The Breach’s journalism to push for transformative change.

This story bothers me.
He sounds like a responsible and professional journalist so he is unlikely to be a midnight graffiti artist, which is a juvenile act.
But I missed the part where he says ‘I didn’t do it’ and how police can go before the courts without evidence.
Surely they have something. Surely!
I would have liked that part to have been covered rather than leaving us to assume things.
