Public investment files
Where the money is argued over
Files on Uruguayan state investments and spending that are under question — by an audit body, by the courts, by parliament, or by the state of the works themselves. Each one cites its sources and, where the open data allows, shows the contract-by-contract cross-reference.
A file accuses no one. It states who questioned what, on which source, and where it stands today. A cost overrun or a direct purchase is not a crime.

How a file is built
Every file starts from public sources: press reports, audit-court rulings, parliamentary records, official reports. A minimum of three verified sources is required, and we always distinguish between what someone alleged, what a body flagged, and what a court decided. Then we look in the Compras Estatales open data for the contracts belonging to those bodies and companies, and that cross-reference is resolved live each time you open the page. When the money does not travel through the procurement portal, the file says so instead of inventing a number.
What counts as a source
Uruguayan outlets with their own newsroom, state bodies (audit court, JUTEP, parliament, ministries, prosecutors) and international organisations. Anonymous blogs and social media are never used as a sole source.
If something is wrong
