The next episode of the investigative journalism programme 'Ochevidets' (Eyewitness, in Estonian Pealtnägija+) will be broadcast on ETV+ on Thursday, 8 October.

The episode includes three reports.

Arson for money

The first report, by Irina Kablukova, looks at how residents of Estonia are recruited through the social network Telegram to commit crimes. The story is about arson carried out for payment.

A dispute at a dacha cooperative

The second report, by Reimo Sildvee, is set in a dacha cooperative in Rapla County. Differing attitudes toward Russian aggression in Ukraine have turned the neighbours' disagreement into a real war.

The president's official portrait

The third report explains how the president's official portrait is created. Kristjan Pihl went to a photo shoot with Ülle Madise.

The programme is hosted by Ulyana Kuzmina. 'Ochevidets' airs on the ETV+ channel on Thursdays at 20:30.
