OpenSanctions is an open-source project developed by Friedrich Lindenberg, a freelance software developer based in Berlin, Germany. The project aims to provide a comprehensive dataset of individuals around the world who are considered "persons of interest," including politicians, their associates, and other influential figures. By analyzing different datasets through graph technology, OpenSanctions seeks to identify significant connections between these individuals and various entities, such as companies and governments. This data can be used by investigative journalists, analysts, and businesses to gain insights into global corruption, illicit finance, and other complex issues. The project has gained attention for its potential to empower those working to hold power accountable and uncover dark secrets in international politics. With the increasing importance of sanctions and anti-corruption efforts, OpenSanctions is poised to become a valuable tool for researchers, journalists, and policymakers alike.
