E73: Know Your Donor: How elections are influenced by dark money

Every political election is pitched as the biggest and most significant – but in 2024, more than half the world's population (that’s four billion people) will asked to go out and vote.


But alongside the political promises and photo opportunities – elections across this year are set to be impacted by dark money and shady influence through back channels.


In the latest episode of The Laundry – our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Peter Geoghegan, Investigative Journalist at OCCRP and Democracy for Sale Substack, as well as Susan Hawley, Executive Director of Spotlight on Corruption.


They discuss: how financial crime happens in elections and who benefits from it, the tools we need to combat corruption, and whether dark money can really decide who wins an election.


Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles

Engineers: Dominic Delargy, Andrea Busco
