openDemocracy is being sued over its investigative journalism by an organisation linked to Kazakhstan’s notorious former dictator.

The Nazarbayev Fund has hired a US law firm to pursue reporters after openDemocracy reported on details of a $7.8bn business empire.

The claimants are also suing the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ) and the Telegraph for reporting on the same subject.
