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.

Milan police have arrested six people on suspicion of kidnapping and shooting a crime boss's ex-girlfriend last November and dissolving her body in acid.

Carabinieri Colonel Lorenzo Falferi says that police do not know which of the suspects shot Lea Garofalo, 35. Carlo Cosco, a reputed 'Ndrangheta crime boss and Ms Garofalo's former boyfriend, was among those arrested. Ms Garofalo was last seen getting into Mr Cosco's car in Milan.

Two years earlier she had refused police escorts after collaborating with prosecutors. Her body has not been found.
