Ms. Annique Mossou, previously part of an OSINT team of the Dutch National Police, where she specialised in online Jihadist propaganda, is currently a trainer and researcher for Bellingcat – an independent investigative collective, which relies on open-source methods to investigate a variety of subjects of public interest. From the MH17 plane crash over eastern Ukraine to police violence in Colombia, the Bellingcat investigations have been regularly referenced by international media and cited by several courts and investigative missions. In addition, Bellingcat designs and shares verifiable methods of ethical digital investigation. At Bellingcat, Ms. Mossou focusses on the world of mis- and disinformation, conspiracy theories and the Russian-Ukrainian War.

On the 3rd of October this year Annique Mossou visited The Hague University of Applied Sciences to tell us more about what it means to work for Bellingcat.
