For two months, using marinetraffic.com, we have been monitoring the movements of ships owned by a couple of NGOs, and, using data from data.unhcr.org. We have kept track of the daily arrivals of African immigrants in Italy. It turned out we were witness of a big scam and an illegal human traffic operation.
NGOs, smugglers, the mafia in cahoots with the European Union have shipped thousands of illegals into Europe under the pretext of rescuing people, assisted by the Italian coast guard which coordinated their activities.

I took a peek into this, there are leads to Blackwater "refounded" as Academia, CIA, Congress, Libya, China, Somalia, MALTA (!). After 26 reads, I run into the famous whirl symbol in a "rescue organization" http://www.theladybirdfoundation.org/about-2/ I should put up a post explaining my route following these leads, but it's huge job, and even one unprovable link in between would make this worthless as evidence. Any volunteers here would be welcome to help me to try to connect these smugglers to The Ladybird Foundation.
Upvote for bringing us the lead, could be worth even more
