Fink Telecom GT queried murdered Mexican journalist Fredid Román's phone hours before his killing (Sept 2022)
Lighthouse Reports' 2023 'Ghost in the Network' investigation documented that a Global Title operated by Fink Telecom Services attempted to locate the phone of Fredid Román, a Mexican journalist reporting on organized crime in Guerrero state, just hours before he was shot and killed in September 2022. This is the clearest documented instance of Fink's surveillance infrastructure being used in connection with a real-world killing of a journalist. It upgrades the Fink record from structural enabler to documented harm against civil society. Fink Telecom vendor record: recbXo8szCG3ZexSy. Incident record: recCErzzVjaRHe0kp.
