Fixer for crime & police
reporting in Barcelona

Barcelona's position as a gateway city — its port, its tourism economy, its proximity to the French border — makes it a significant hub for organised crime activity in Europe. The city's gang landscape, the operations of groups including Los Trinitarios, and the intersection of drug trafficking, money laundering and street violence are stories that require sources who cannot be found through press offices.

Elisabet Borreda's background in investigative journalism through the Grup Ramon Barnils gives us access to a community of investigative reporters who have spent years building sources inside these worlds. We can provide introductions, context and — critically — an accurate understanding of what is and is not safe to report in a city where some stories carry real risk.

Spain's judicial system is complex and confusing to outside observers — the coexistence of ordinary courts, specialised courts (Audiència Nacional, TSJC), the appeal structure and the constitutional court creates a landscape that requires expert guidance.

We have covered major judicial cases in Catalonia — including trials arising from the 2017 independence crisis and high-profile organised crime prosecutions — and we understand how to translate the judicial process into reporting that makes sense to international audiences. Our legal source network includes defence lawyers, prosecutors and court insiders.
