About
An independent desk for the Levant.
LevantLeaks is an investigative intelligence platform tracking sanctions evasion, ship-to-ship transfers, financial networks, and maritime surveillance across Lebanon, Syria, and the Eastern Mediterranean.
What we do
OSINT, but accountable
We combine open-source intelligence with primary documents, leaked or otherwise, and publish only what can be verified across at least two independent sources. The result is a slower newsroom by design, optimised for being right rather than being first.
01
Evidence first
Every claim we publish is backed by a primary source: a filing, a registry entry, an AIS track, an OFAC record, or a verified document. If we can’t show it, we don’t print it.
02
Independent
No government, party, or interest group funds, directs, or reviews our reporting. We operate alone and small on purpose.
03
Levant-grounded
Our focus is the Eastern Mediterranean: Lebanon, Syria, and the maritime corridor that moves oil, money, and influence between them. We cover what a regional desk would, not what a wire would.
04
Source protected
Anonymous submissions are accepted by design. We do not log identifying metadata on tips, and editors are the only people with access to the intake queue.
