Manuel Rico
infoLibre Head, Investigative team
Spain
Journalist since 1990. Worked among other media in El Mundo, Interviu, Tiempo and Público. Co-founder and editor of infoLibre between 2013 and 2020, where I am now head of the investigative team. I collaborated with cross-border investigative journalism projects led by EIC, OCCRP and Investigate Europe.
Author of ¡Vergüenza! El escándalo de las residencias (2021), a book that tries to explain how large multinationals made a business of elderly care and the flaws in the system that allow them to do that business.
I am also a lawyer since 2017, interested in transparency issues, and have a master's degree in Communication from the University of Missouri-Columbia (1999), where I studied thanks to a Fulbright scholarship.
