Paul Radu is an investigative journalist from Romania.[1] He is the co-founder of the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, for which he and co-founder Drew Sullivan received the Special Award by the European Press Prize.[2][3] He is also one of the cofounders of the Romanian Center for Investigative Journalism.[4]
He has received multiple international awards for his journalism.[5] In 2008, he sat on a Central European Initiative jury to name that year's best investigative journalist; the jury chose Drago Hedl.[6] In 2009, he appeared on 48 Hours investigating sexual slavery and human trafficking in Romania.[7] He has also investigated human trafficking in Bosnia and Herzegovina.[8]
In 2020 Radu was sued for defamation in London by Azerbaijani MP, Javanshir Feyziyev, over two articles in OCCRP's award-winning Azerbaijan Laundromat series about money-laundering out of Azerbaijan. The case was discontinued two weeks before the trial was to start.[9]
Radu is the executive producer of the award-winning film “The Killing of a Journalist.”[10]
In 2023, he co-founded Floodlight: Fiction in the Public Interest, an initiative that brings together investigative journalists and filmmakers together to make tv series and films.[11]
Also in 2023, Radu oversaw the NarcoFiles project, a series of investigations that revealed the inner workings of transnational smuggling gangs from Latin America to Europe.[12]
