Frontex blocks reintegration payout data; urges data vetting before press contact

An investigation reveals that Frontex, the EU border agency, has internally urged national authorities and NGOs to clear sensitive data with the agency before speaking to journalists, while publicly claiming transparency and withholding basic figures on who received promised reintegration funds for deportees. The core claim—that thousands of deportees never received the money—is based on internal minutes and investigative reporting, but the exact scale and Frontex's role remain partially unverified. This matters because it raises accountability and human-rights concerns over EU-funded deportation and reintegration programs, potentially affecting political and legal scrutiny of Frontex.
