Al Jazeera Net investigation won "immigration with a similar passport. Brokers and a Black Market for European Travel Documents" produced by the site's careful journalism unit with the Samir Kassir Award for Investigative Journalism.
The investigation reveals the phenomenon of selling similar, original and counterfeit passports, and how some countries such as Turkey and Greece have turned into an open market for passport brokers and smugglers through social networks. The same investigation was shortlisted for the Swiss True story Awards out of more than 900 submissions from around the world and the winning work will be announced on June 22.
