"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"A banker jailed after he "made up" claims about being sexually harassed by a female manager at work has had his sentence slashed by appeal judges. Damilare Ajao, who worked for German finance giant Commerzbank in its client life cycle management team in London in 2019, claimed he was pestered by a manager who "flirtatiously" told him she could see his nipples and tried to touch his Gucci belt buckle in the staff canteen."
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground journalism and to keep reporting accessible without paywalls, stating that quality journalism should be available to everyone and funded by those who can afford it. Damilare Ajao worked for Commerzbank in London in 2019 and was sacked in November 2019 before bringing an Employment Tribunal claim alleging sexual harassment and assault by a female manager. The allegations included that the manager flirtatiously said she could see his nipples and tried to touch his Gucci belt buckle in the staff canteen. The tribunal dismissed his claim, finding the sexual harassment and assault allegations false, and his sentence was later reduced on appeal.
