Stefan Candea
Stefan Candea is an award wining investigative journalist from Romania, specialized in covering organized crime, now currently the coordinator of European Investigative Collaborations (EIC), which he co-founded in 2015.
EIC investigations have covered, among others, the murky financial transactions in the world of European professional football, the Malta workings as a pirate base for tax avoidance inside the EU, and the secret dealings of the International Criminal Court.
Recently, while looking for a way to lower the barrier to investigative collaborations, he founded Liquid Investigations.
