FT wins Overseas Press Club award for biz reporting

The Financial Times won the Overseas Press Club’s Malcolm Forbes and Morton Frank Award for best international business news reporting.

Miles Johnson won for “Wagner Inc: The Criminal Empire of Yevgeny Prigozhin.”

The judges wrote, “Miles Johnson’s reporting exposed how Western lawyers and other professionals helped the Russian criminal known as ‘Putin’s chef’ evade international sanctions. Johnson also illuminated how Prigozhin’s forces pillaged Africa and Ukraine, looting, raping, torturing, committing arson and murdering many, including journalists.”

The awards will be presented at the annual OPC awards dinner in New York on April 25, with David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker, receiving the club’s President’s Award for his inspired contribution to international journalism over three decades.
