Magnum announces an investigation into the conduct of one of its photographers

Magnum Photos has initiated an investigation into allegations against the personal conduct of one of its photographers, Gueorgui Pinkhassov.

Magnum takes the allegations extremely seriously, and we are in direct contact with the individual concerned.
