Freelance investigative journalists Ludovica Jona Lasinio (Italy) and Quentin Noirfalisse (Belgium) reveal how the gold in your wedding ring or hard drive may have been illegally mined in the Amazon, “laundered” in the Middle East and refined in Europe.
Learn about the intricate “gold chain” that connects Amazonian gold to European markets via Dubai, and how a lack of regulation has allowed the unlawful destruction of vast swathes of rainforest and rights abuses against indigenous people.
This podcast gives the backstory to The Gold Chain, a cross-border investigation supported by the Investigative Journalism for Europe (IJ4EU) fund.
