Flight MH17 Correctiv described the
Flight MH17 as one of the greatest war crimes of modern times. Over several months it gathered facts, investigated in eastern Ukraine and Russia, and found witnesses to the missile launch, unveiled a clear chain of evidence that MH17 was downed by a
BUK missile ground-launched by a unit of the Russian
53rd Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade from Kursk. The brigade unit operated in mid July on Ukrainian territory without displaying national emblems.
2024 AfD report and following legal disputes In January 2024, Correctiv published a report titled "Secret Plan Against Germany" () that described a meeting between AfD and CDU members and far-right elements to plan a program of forced "
re-migration" of immigrants and others considered undesirable. The report led to mass demonstrations in Germany against AfD. The Hamburg Regional Court issued an injunction at the request of
Ulrich Vosgerau against a passage in the report, concerning an alleged statement by Vosgerau regarding election challenge complaints. Correctiv had misquoted Vosgerau by claiming that he considered mass complaints to be promising. The court ruled that Correctiv could not prove the accuracy of the quote and sided with Vosgerau. The application was rejected with regard to two other statements. Vosgerau then filed with the Berlin II Regional Court, who ruled that these statements were untrue factual assertions or, at the very least, “arbitrarily fabricated” expressions of opinion. In March 2026, the Berlin II Regional Court upheld a lawsuit filed by AfD politician
Gerrit Huy and prohibited Correctiv from publishing statements about the Potsdam meeting. Among these was the statement that the meeting concerned a “master plan for the expulsion of German citizens.” The Berlin II Regional Court classified this statement as an untrue statement of fact, since the meeting in Potsdam did not concern “expulsions.” However, earlier court verdicts contradict the March 2026 ruling. For instance,the Hamburg Regional Courtclassified the statement as an expression of opinion in December 2025. If the statements are classified as expressions of opinion, there are broader protections for Correctiv's publications. Correctiv appealed the ruling, pointing to the role of nationalist euphemisms within the New Right and arguing that it is the task of journalistic analysis to decipher and contextualize these euphemisms. The Berlin Press Chamber failed to recognize the significance of these euphemisms. ==Awards==
