Correction and apology
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In our 8 June article headlined “Western giants feel the force of the Alfa males” we reported a reference in the Indian press that Mikhail Fridman was being investigated by anti-money laundering agencies in Europe. We can confirm that we have no evidence of any such investigation, and apologise to Mr Fridman. We also reported that Mr Fridman is the cousin of Dmitry Fridman, the director of a company, Farimex, which has brought proceedings against the Norwegian company, Telenor. We accept that neither Mr Fridman nor any Alfa Group company has any connection with either Dmitry Fridman or Farimex.
