The Malcolm Forbes Award 2014

This series of nine stories showed how President Vladimir
Putin and his billionaire friends control the Russian economy and siphon off billions of dollars for themselves. Reuters was the first news organization to document how contracts and money moved through offshore tax havens because it was able to obtain access to confidential bank and travel databases. The corruption extended even to the supply of a Russian rocket to the U.S. space program.

The Malcolm Forbes Award 2013

The judges were impressed by Reuters’ ability to piece together how Iran’s top religious cleric, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had amassed a financial empire worth $95 billion, rivaling the wealth of the late Shah. In a three-part series, Stecklow and colleagues drew a devastating portrait of how Khamenei had secured a position in nearly every sector of Iran’s economy through a little-known agency called Setad. Reuters took major risks in investigating the ayatollah.
