Coarse article-level tag from contextual coding. Consult the coding record for stage, actor, allegation and mixed-fraud scope. Source claims are neither independently verified nor additive.
These labels describe the available reporting. “Not reported” does not mean a harm did not happen. A theme's stage applies to that statement, not every claim in the article.

Connected reporting
Only direct reviewed connections are shown. Shared wording is weaker evidence than a supported case connection. A connection through a third article does not establish that two reports concern the same case.
No direct connection is recorded. This does not establish that the story is unique.
A page can change after it first appears. Observation dates record when its URL was seen; they do not prove that the wording assessed here was present on every date.
