History

The newspaper was founded in October 2009 by veteran reporter Gustavo Gorriti, initially with only two reporters.[1][2] One of the first main investigations occurred in February 2010, with the report involving the purchase of armoured personnel carrier by the Peruvian Armed Forces at a highly inflated price later being spread through national media outlets.[2]

IDL-Reporteros assisted the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists with journalistic and research work involved in the 2021 Pandora Papers leak.[3][4]
