Producers of Al Jazeera’s Stealing Paradise, a documentary that uncovered a money laundering scheme of USD 1.5 billion, has claimed that the government hired firms to suppress it.

The team’s investigative unit said while receiving the One World Media’s Corruption Reporting Award that the government had hired British legal and public relations firms to suppress the agency’s broadcast.

On Tuesday, Will Jordon, the journalist behind the documentary, dedicated it to missing journalist Ahmed Rilwan and murdered writer Yameen Rasheed.
