Yesterday at a ceremony in Tallinn at the Swedish Embassy, the annual Bonnier Award for investigative journalism was awarded to Dannar Leitmaa and Margus J\u00e4rv of Eesti Ekspress for their story on corruption in the internal board relections of the ruling Reform Party – following the story, vice chairman of the board Kriistina Ojuland was forced out.<\/p>\n
The two beat out finalists from \u00c4rip\u00e4ev and Eesti P\u00e4evaleht. Koit Brinkmann of \u00c4rip\u00e4ev was nominated for his investigation into Tallinn Mayor Edgar Savisaar’s secret Swiss bank account. K\u00e4rt Anvelt of Eesti P\u00e4evaleht was nominated for a long investigation that resulted in sports physician Vitali Bernatski confessing to selling performance-enhancing drugs to athletes, and ultimately the formation of a special commission to look into the issue of doping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
