00:00Euronews has been targeted by an anti-Moldova disinformation campaign.
00:07More false videos alleging criminality and health issues in Moldova and attributed to Euronews
00:12are circulating online, with some even being posted by accounts posing as Euronews staff.
00:18One video claims that Moldova ranks first in the number of STD carriers in Europe,
00:23while others talk of waves of illegal immigration flowing from Moldova into the EU,
00:29particularly Italy. All of them use Euronews' graphics and branding, and many have since
00:34been shared by accounts on TikTok and X, purporting to be current or former Euronews journalists,
00:40including one claiming to be the channel's former CEO. They've received thousands of views and likes
00:45as of the time of recording, and some have since been deleted, but Euronews didn't produce any of
00:50these videos. The accounts posing as Euronews staff feature profile pictures that appear to be AI
00:55generated. One supposedly belongs to a man called Brandon Goyce, who claims to be Euronews' former
01:01CEO. However, no such person has ever served as the channel's chief, and online searches yield no
01:08trace of anyone with that name and working in the media. Other profiles contain similar uncanny avatars
01:14and the same bio, hashtag Euronews or hashtag Euronews rep. They have also all only posted a
01:20single video each, all related to the same subject matter about Moldova, and follow no other accounts.
01:27The false videos and accounts appear to be part of the Matryoshka campaign, a coordinated pro-Russian
01:33operation known among fact-checkers for spreading false news reports under the guise of international
01:38media outlets. The campaign often targets EU and NATO countries, as well as Ukraine,
01:43seemingly to weaken alliances and discredit Western democracies. Euroverify has already debunked other
01:49false videos attributed to Euronews as part of the disinformation campaign, which targeted Moldova,
01:55Romania and France.
