Support for Christo who lives in fear and hide constantly from the long hands of the Russian secret services

Christo Grozev is a Bulgarian investigative journalist and author. He is the lead Russia investigator with Bellingcat, focusing on security threats, extraterritorial clandestine operations, and the weaponization of information. His investigations into the identity of the suspects involved in the 2018 poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal earned him and his team the European Press Prize for Investigative Journalism.

Since 2016, Grozev is a Supervisory Board Member at Talpa Radio Holding. Radio NewCo operates four of the leading commercial national radio stations in the Netherlands: Radio 538, Sky Radio, Radio 10 (Netherlands), and Radio Veronica (Talpa Radio). The group is also a majority shareholder in One Media Sales, the Netherlands' leading radio sales house.

Bellingcat

Grozev joined Bellingcat in 2015 as an investigative reporter. Grozev is known for using open-source, social media, and other available data for investigations. He has authored investigations identifying, among others, two senior Russian officers linked to the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in 2014,[ GRU officers involved with the 2016 Montenegrin coup plot, the three suspects of the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in 2018 and the poisoning of Alexei Navalny in 2020.

In 2019, Grozev and his team won the European Press Prize Investigative Reporting Award for "Unmasking the Salisbury Poisoning Suspects: A Four-Part Investigation", in which they identified the perpetrators of the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal.

Russian wanted list

On 26 December 2022, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia announced that Grozev was on its "wanted" list without disclosing the reason. According to Russian state-owned domestic news agency RIA Novosti, a criminal case was opened against Grozev for "spreading fakes".

Navalny

Grozev was featured heavily in the 2022 documentary Navalny, which covered the title figure's poisoning. Navalny won the BAFTA Award for Best Documentary at the 76th British Academy Film Awards, although Grozev's invitation to the awards ceremony was rescinded days before it was due to take place, following an assessment that he was a "security risk. 

The purpose of this campaign is the financial support Christo who lives in fear for himself and his family and has to constantly hide because of a danger to his own life.

We know how much he is committed to his work and we want to help him continue to do this in the most protected environment.
