From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Polish prosecutors have filed charges against a Swede with neo-Nazi ties and two Poles acting for profit, and said all three had confessed to the brazen theft of the notorious "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign from the gates of the Auschwitz death camp last year.
A second Swede, whose name was not released, is suspected of masterminding the robbery.
"We have evidence indicating the possibility that a Swedish citizen might have instigated another Swedish citizen to commit a crime connected with the theft of the 'Arbeit Macht Frei' sign," prosecutor Robert Parys said.
