The PM of Solomon Islands is modestly paid among world leaders.

But Manasseh Sogavare & his wife have built 8 houses in the last half-decade, estimated to have cost at least $1.7 million USD.

Unfortunately, investigative journalists often face attacks like this when we uncover uncomfortable truths about powerful people. They are unable to refute the facts of our reporting, so they try to create a distraction. Our investigation stands: occrp.org/en/investigati…

Journalists made multiple attempts to reach Emmy Sogavare, and sent four pages of detailed questions to the Prime Minister's Office well in advance of publication. I even tweeted the details of this out two days ago, which the Star could have checked: x.com/AubreyBelford/…

The Solomon Star today published a story today that repeats false claims that Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project and @idsols23 did not reach out for comment before publishing our investigation into the Sogavares' wealth. This is untrue.
