News Highlight
Eliminalia
Eliminalia, a Spanish company claiming to help individuals and companies improve their online reputation. suffered a massive leak of over 50,000 documents, allegedly revealing their collaboration with criminals and corrupt individuals in which they washed negative content from the web and planted false-positive content with the aim of improving their clients’ reputations. According to sources, the documents were leaked by a former employee of Eliminalia, who became disgruntled with the company’s practices. The employee reportedly took the documents with them when they left the company and later shared them with the OCCRP (Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project), who then conducted an investigation in collaboration with media organizations in several countries, including Spain, Italy, and the United States.
The leaked documents consist of thousands of pages of internal company communications, client lists, contracts, and invoices, reportedly detailing Eliminalia’s unethical practices of using fake court orders, hacking, and other nefarious methods to achieve their ends. The documents further reveal clients with links to organized crime, as well as ties to money laundering and drug trafficking. The leak sparked a criminal investigation into Eliminalia’s activities by Spanish authorities, who have since raided the company’s offices and arrested several individuals. Calls for greater regulation of the industry grow amidst concerns over the role of reputation management companies and their potential for abuse.
