"The investigation, which alleged that Palantir had persistently courted Switzerland but had been rejected, made waves across Europe prompting debate in Germany and comment from UK politicians."

"The team of WAV and Republik journalists are awarded the Prix Transparence 2025 by the Swiss FOIA Association for their work."
In 2024, journalists from the Swiss collective WAV began investigating Palantir after the company announced a European hub in Switzerland. Their investigation, fueled by numerous freedom of information requests, revealed that Palantir had been courting Switzerland but faced rejection. The findings sparked debate across Europe, prompting responses from UK politicians. Palantir contested the investigation, demanding a right of reply, which the magazine refused, leading to a lawsuit. The journalists were later awarded the Prix Transparence 2025 for their efforts.
