OpenSanctions is a database of sanctioned entities, politically exposed persons, and subjects of financial crime enforcement actions, maintained by a company based in Berlin, Germany.[1] It was created in 2015 by Friedrich Lindenberg, while he was building data tools for the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project.[2][3] The source code is published as open-source software.[3]
The Global Investigative Journalism Network described OpenSanctions as providing "reporters quick access to potential leads on global persons of interest".[2] The database was used by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists as part of their methodology for the Cyprus Confidential investigation,[4] and is listed in the Bellingcat investigation toolkit.[5]

Wikipedia articles must be written neutrally in a formal, impersonal, and dispassionate way. They should not read like a blog post, advertisement, or fan page. Rewrite the draft to remove:
Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject.
If you have a conflict of interest (e.g. you are the subject, an employee, or a relative) or are being paid to edit, you must disclose this to comply with Wikipedia's Terms of Use.
