Gur Megiddo is the lead investigative journalist for TheMarker, the financial daily of the Haaretz group. Specializing in political and corporate corruption, cyber warfare, intelligence, and global disinformation, his reporting has sparked numerous criminal probes and indictments both in Israel and abroad. Megiddo has played a pivotal role in high-stakes international collaborations alongside prominent organizations such as Forbidden Stories, Citizen Lab, and PPLAAF.

He is particularly recognized for his central role in the exposure of "Team Jorge," a mercenary group that manipulated elections in dozens of countries, as well as for a long-running series of impactful investigations into mining mogul Dan Gertler.

Megiddo’s work has frequently navigated the constraints of Israeli military censorship, most notably during his efforts to uncover the Mossad’s campaign to pressure former ICC Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda into dropping or minimizing cases against Israel—a story that was later brought to global light by The Guardian.

A recipient of the Uri Avnery Award for Courageous Journalism and the Knight of Quality Government, Megiddo was also part of the collective that won the IJ4EU Impact Award for excellence in collaborative journalism. Currently based in Madrid, he continues to report for both Israeli and international audiences, focusing on the intersection of power, money, and security.
