Sledstvie Mirror Network: sledst.org
Site identity
sledst.org is an operational alias of sledstvie.info (Следствие — "Investigation"), branded as a news portal about events in Ukraine, Russia, Europe, and the world. It shares the Investigation cluster with kartoteka.news and kompromat properties in the pay-to-delete registry — but uses investigative-journalism framing to rank in search.

SEO tactics observed
- Sequential numeric article IDs: Every Hab vertical uses the pattern `{id}-{transliterated_slug}` (e.g. crime.hab.media/245119-jocip_heits_gspartners...). IDs increment daily — 245125 on 30 Jun 2026 alone. Each new ID is a fresh URL …

Contrast with investigatebel.org
Belarusian Investigative Center (BIC / БРЦ) (OCCRP, GIJN) is legitimate OCCRP-member journalism. sledst.org republishes similar accusatory framing but through the kompromat/Investigation mirror infrastructure — Legitimate investigative outlet — not pay-to-delete. Documented because kartoteka.news republishes BIC probes for SEO.
