Data sources
Everything published in the directory comes from the sources listed here. Every record links to the original and to an archived copy.
| Source | Type | What we take | Updated |
|---|---|---|---|
| Register of Persons Who Committed Corruption Offences | State registry | fact of verdict, article, penalty | daily |
| Unified State Register of Court Decisions | Court decision | verdict texts, case numbers, amounts | daily |
| Unified State Register of Legal Entities | State registry | companies, EDRPOU codes, executives, beneficiaries | weekly |
| Register of Declarations | State registry | positions, periods, places of work | monthly |
| Sanctions lists (NSDC, OFAC, EU, United Kingdom) | Official statement | existence of sanctions, grounds | weekly |
| Announcements by NABU, SAPO, SBI, prosecutor's offices | Official statement | new episodes, status changes | daily |
| Journalistic investigations | Investigation | episodes without official proceedings | upon publication |
Source priority
When sources contradict each other, the one closer to the primary source ranks higher: court decision → official statement of an authority → state register → investigative journalism → media. A contradiction is not hidden: both sources stay on the record, marked as conflicting.
Archived copies
An archived copy is made for every link at the moment it is added. Publications disappear, websites close, registers change format — without an archive, within a few years the directory would become a collection of dead links.
What we never publish
- tax numbers, passport details, place of residence, private contacts
- data on minors and on relatives who are not public figures themselves
- material from leaks, hacked databases and closed sources
- information from proceedings where the person is anonymised in the court decision
Being listed in the directory is not a statement of guilt. Guilt is established only by a court, and the status of every episode is stated explicitly.
