"Follow the money" is a catchphrase popularized by the 1976 docudrama film All the President's Men, which suggests political corruption can be brought to light by examining money transfers between parties.

What you can do:

1. Read the original investigation. Judge for yourself:
📄 republik.ch/2025/12/09/warum-p…

2. Support #InvestigativeJournalism. These reporters aren’t getting rich doing this work. They’re doing it because someone needs to document what powerful companies don’t want documented. A year spent in FOIA requests is not nothing.

3. *Do* pay attention to the LinkedIn drama
The tactic of replying to critical journalism where the general public won’t see is deliberate. They’re trying to discredit journalists among decision-makers and industry insiders. Make this stuff visible if you can.

4. Make your politicians answer questions about government contracts. If the Swiss said no NINE times after careful evaluation, why did the UK say yes? Who benefits from these deals? This matters for #DataSovereignty and national security.

Once again, support #InvestigativeJournalism. They are fighting battles most of us will never see.

Thanks for reading.
