JAOC Investigations
Our story
JAOC is an independent investigative platform dedicated to exposing truth, uncovering institutional failures, and bringing evidence into the public domain.
We operate without political funding, corporate influence, or outside financial support — every investigation is personally funded, driven by public interest, and grounded in verifiable documents.
Our mission is simple: hold power to account, protect whistle blowers, and give the public the transparency they deserve.
JAOC Investigations is supported by a small team of specialist volunteers with backgrounds in intelligence analysis, digital forensics, cybersecurity, and operational research. Our contributors bring experience from defence, signals, and technical investigative fields, working together to support evidence‑led public‑interest reporting.
What We’ve Achieved
JAOC Investigations has delivered more than 70 detailed, evidence‑led inquiries into matters of public interest, including safeguarding failures, governance concerns, and institutional accountability. This has resulted in Parliament introducing legislative changes after Rupert Lowe and Shabana Mahmood tabled a motion after our Vape Gang Investigation. Information supplied to Counter Terrorism resulting in preventing attacks in a number of locations. Our team collated and delivered a file leading to the arrest of Chinese spy David Taylor the husband of Joani Reid the labour MP.
Our work has contributed to: – Verified timelines and structured evidence sets used by regulators and oversight bodies – Public‑interest reporting that has reached thousands of readers – Multiple right‑to‑reply processes and formal correspondence with public authorities – Community‑driven advocacy supported by clear documentation and factual analysis.

Statement on False Allegations
JAOC Investigations recognises that public‑interest reporting can attract criticism. However, when accusations cross into false statements presented as fact, they become defamatory. Under UK law, defamation occurs when someone publishes false information that harms the reputation of an individual or organisation.
Recently, false claims have been circulated about JAOC and its volunteers. These allegations are untrue. Because of the sensitive nature of our work, and the reliance we place on public trust, we have informed our legal representatives so that appropriate steps can be taken to protect both our team and the integrity of the JAOC brand.
Our investigations often involve serious issues including child exploitation, trafficking, corruption, whistleblowing, and safeguarding failures. We rely on members of the public, including vulnerable individuals, to come forward with information. False allegations can discourage people from seeking help or sharing evidence, and this has real‑world consequences. For that reason, JAOC operates a zero‑tolerance policy towards defamatory claims that may undermine public confidence or obstruct safeguarding efforts.
We are grateful to the residents of North Berwick who brought the source of these false claims to our attention and we know her name an position as an administrator on the Facebook group North Berwick. Community awareness and responsible self‑policing play an important role in protecting vulnerable people and ensuring that those who need support feel safe to come forward.
JAOC will continue to carry out evidence‑led, transparent investigations in the public interest, and we will always challenge misinformation that threatens that work.
Public Guidance: Police Operational Posture & Terrorism Situation — Edinburgh Festival 2026
Published: 8 August 2026
Authors: Andrew Sibley & Susan Spence, Senior Lead Investigators, JAOC
Document Reference: JAOC‑SEC‑2026‑0808
What this is
This dossier is a plain-language briefing for the public. It explains what police activity you can expect to see in and around Edinburgh during the Festival, why those measures are in place, and how they may change if the national terrorism threat level shifts.
What it covers
- Current threat levels and what they mean in practice
- Project Servator — what it is, why it is used, and what it has achieved
- A factual record of terrorism-related arrests and court proceedings in Scotland over the last 12 months, with verified sources
- What to do if you see something suspicious
Key message
The security measures you see are precautionary and proportionate. Police Scotland has stated there is no specific intelligence pointing to an imminent attack in Scotland. The guidance is designed to help you be alert, not alarmed.
Who it is for
Members of the public, visitors, local businesses, community groups and journalists who want an accurate, sourced picture of the current situation rather than speculation.

east lothian COUNCIL INVESTIGATION
This investigation examines concerns within East Lothian Council relating to corporate governance, financial decision‑making, the introduction of new parking schemes, and proposed levies affecting local hospitality. The inquiry is supported by whistle blowers and documented evidence, with a focus on transparency, accountability, and the public interest.
We examine one of the most serious and under‑reported public health and justice failures in the UK today.
Millions have been prescribed dopamine agonists for common conditions — yet their devastating side‑effects are routinely downplayed, misdiagnosed, or completely missed.
Catastrophic impulse‑control disorders, financial ruin, family breakdown, and even criminal behaviour are often dismissed as moral failure, dementia, or mental illness — while regulators, pharmaceutical companies, and the justice system ignore the medical cause.
People have been investigated, charged, and sentenced for actions driven by the very medication they were told would help them.
Our full investigation will be published shortly.
Analysis & Investigation: Patterns of Targeting
For investigators at every level, the ability to piece together fragments of information — from company registrations to social media behaviour — is a powerful skill. Methodical work and careful analysis can turn subtle digital anomalies into clear, verifiable facts.
This investigation documents the targeting of Major Alex Watts, a former Special Forces officer.
Major Watts has stated his view that the nation he served no longer upholds fundamental principles of freedom of expression. He is building a growing network of veterans, farmers and local communities, working to create safe, supportive spaces for families. This initiative is expanding rapidly, with plans to develop a wider movement and establish a new political party.
Why Major Watts has become the focus of sustained attention is a question that must be answered by government.
Our role is to identify and expose these tactics. Drawing on former military intelligence experience, we recognise the established indicators of state‑backed targeting. We are well‑placed to shine a light on these practices — and we stand firmly for freedom, not against it.
Islam v British Farming
This investigation examines what happens when industrial efficiency collides with religious obligation. From animal feed and construction materials to pharmaceutical capsules and cosmetics, porcine by products are embedded in an estimated 98% of every slaughtered carcass, rendered into generic chemical names that obscure their source. .
There are rising voices in the Muslim community about stopping pig farming as it impacts negativity there religion.
Inside this document we go through each segment of our society to show you what's dt stake. It is not just the farmers livelihood at stake but also other aspects of farming , cosmetic industry , building Industry to name a few.
As our country descends into a complete dismantling of our society and it's not diversity and inclusion it is a polar opposite.
New Intelligence Release: Migrant Smuggling Networks Dossier
JAOC Investigations has officially released our latest Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) supported by an additional ground intelligence team dossier, detailing the operational frameworks of transnational migrant smuggling networks.
Compiled from leading intelligence and investigative sources—including Europol, the UK NCA, the Home Office, and the FATF—this comprehensive report offers a critical threat assessment of the current landscape. It provides in-depth analysis of the rising polycriminality of smuggling gangs, the tactical shift toward high-capacity "mega-dinghies," and the rapid digitization of illicit supply chains and recruitment.
Inside the newly published dossier, you will find:
Network Profiles: Open-source intelligence on active syndicates, key figures, and their operational layers.
Evolving Routes: Data on established corridors and emerging maritime hotspots, including shifting launch points along the English Channel.
Financial Flow Analysis: Insights into the payment systems funding these operations, ranging from informal Hawala networks to cryptocurrency.
Strategic Forecasts: Near-term operational forecasts for 2026–2027, along with targeted disruption opportunities focusing on financial pipelines and supply chains.
Eradicating these networks requires a deep understanding of their upstream logistical and financial foundations. Download the full dossier below to explore our actionable intelligence and strategic recommendations.
Proposed UK new safe and effective routes
New proposals for expanded "safe and legal routes" into the UK are being presented as a humane alternative to Channel crossings. JAOC Investigations has examined these schemes in depth — and the findings demand attention.
This research file sets out the case for an immediate halt. Drawing on field investigations, documentary analysis, and consultation with serving border enforcement professionals, we identify four critical risks.
The Ceuta–Melilla Surge: Inside Europe's Most Dangerous Border Crisis
How Morocco weaponised migration — and why the EU is fracturing.
In late July 2026, approximately 60,000 migrants crossed from Morocco into the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla in a single, coordinated surge. At least 67 lives were lost. Within days, EU member states were suspending Schengen arrangements and trading accusations across the bloc.
JAOC Investigations identified the mechanics of this breach — and the geopolitical catalyst behind it — a full 15 hours before mainstream media confirmed the situation.
Our intelligence dossier unpacks the exact sequence of events, why Rabat deliberately loosened its border controls, the Algeria trigger and the Western Sahara fault line, and how EU solidarity collapsed under pressure.
This is not a migration story. This is a story about leverage, retaliation, and the weaponisation of Europe's southern frontier.
0PERATION SAFE VOICE
This operation was launched after we uncovered the operational objectives and tactics of the left-wing extremist group Antifa. From the outset, it has been clear that this group, which has a long-established history, has developed a robust, diversified structure that is both well-organised and well-funded. Because of their operational structure, they are easily able to create disturbances at community-driven rallies intended to unite all parts of society, regardless of race, colour, or religion.
We are actively gathering intelligence. Using information provided by sources inside Antifa, along with our own covert teams, we will continue to monitor their activities and report any illegal behaviour to the relevant authorities.
We will also communicate directly with rally organisers to reinforce the importance of maintaining non-political involvement and keeping out extreme elements. This prevents these factions from being utilised by the media to cast a negative light on the protest's true message.
Antifa relies on receiving information about upcoming protests from relevant parties, including police liaisons, and organises their response based on that data. However, it must be stated that their actual numbers are limited. While they are highly vocal, legally trained, and sometimes appear to have the support of authorities, their base is very small. For example, at a recent event in Glasgow, their attendance was vastly exaggerated by the Morning Star. Our inside sources confirmed that there were fewer than 900 individuals present, and these people had to be bussed in from other major cities, including Aberdeen, Dundee, and Edinburgh.
Because of this limitation, they would not be able to disrupt multiple events simultaneously without severely diluting their numbers and their overall impact. We will keep all options on the table for the future to capitalise on this. Ultimately, our mission is to ensure safety for everyone. We will exclusively work with non-political rallies and protests that aim to have a positive impact on all members of the community.
The Criterion Capital Influence Dossier — A Deep Investigation into Offshore Networks, Real‑Estate Exploitation & Institutional Capture
Overview of the Investigation
This investigation examines the commercial, political, and offshore financial architecture surrounding Asif Aziz and his corporate vehicle, Criterion Capital. Drawing on legal records, planning enforcement files, offshore registries, and intelligence mapping, the dossier exposes a multi‑layered system of capital extraction, tax mitigation, and institutional influence operating across the UK and international jurisdictions.
The report traces Aziz’s trajectory from early property dealings and financial collapse, through his controversial West African operations, to the construction of a complex Isle of Man trust network that shields billions in UK real‑estate assets. It documents patterns of aggressive redevelopment, tenant displacement, municipal safety disputes, and the strategic use of dissolving shell companies to avoid business rate liabilities.
Beyond commercial activity, the dossier outlines a parallel track of political and civic influence: funding parliamentary offices, embedding foundation‑backed researchers inside government, shaping national hate‑crime datasets, and leveraging charitable structures to gain access to public institutions. The investigation concludes that this network represents a coordinated system of financial insulation and institutional infiltration with significant implications for public policy, regulatory oversight, and national security.
