In an era where #corruption , #financial #crime & #illicit #trade span the globe, so too must the #investigations that uncover them. One of the least discussed & often unexpected #obstacles in that pursuit involves difficulties #investigative #journalists can face when trying to physically cross #borders .
Plenty of #reporters have anecdotes about #intrusive digital #searches , physical #harassment or #extortion attempts by border guards but no definitive dataset exists.
