Hello, it's Bashar here and before this episode starts, I just wanted to say thank you.

It's five years since we made our first ever podcast.

Since we're at the beginning, we should, I think, do the polite thing and make some introductions here.

Basha, do you want to start?

That was the beginning of our weekly investigative show, the slow newscast.

And while we have hopefully gotten a bit better at this since then,

what we care about hasn't changed.

Because we still investigate injustices.

Until recently, everything I'm about to tell you was a secret.

We tell gripping stories with a human heart.

It's a screwed up crazy kind of love story,

filled with death, lies and witness protection programs.

But still, it's a love story.

And we investigate in the public interest.

We've won landmark legal battles.

Hello.

I thought you'd like to know we've got the judgment.

It's going to be published.

Oh my God.

You can find our chart topping and award-winning series on Tortus Investigates.

What I uncover is a global game of cat and mouse.

A catch me if you can.
