00:00No, the head of France's intelligence agency has not resigned.
00:06Claims that the head of France's domestic intelligence agency, Céline Berton, resigned
00:11emerged online and gained traction over the summer.
00:14Users relayed screenshots of an article which they alleged
00:16was published by French newspaper Le Monde in late July.
00:20Some posts on X garnered more than 200,000 views,
00:23while the allegations also appeared on LinkedIn posts and online blogs.
00:27Online users claimed Berton was forced to resign after the intelligence agency she helmed
00:33was found to have enabled illicit cryptocurrency operations,
00:36which eventually threatened the collapse of the euro.
00:39Users also alleged that these so-called untraceable funds could be used by the French state
00:44to crack down on protests, such as the mass demonstrations expected in the autumn.
00:49They based their claims on reporting by Le Monde and the AFP agency.
00:53But these screenshots of the article are fake.
00:56And neither media ever published these claims.
00:59Disinformation actors assert the article has since been suspiciously deleted.
01:03But Euroverify did not detect any evidence that Le Monde ever published this article.
01:08Céline Berton took office in January 2024 and has not resigned.
01:12Initially, when users clicked on the story on social media,
01:15it directed them to an online phishing scam.
01:18But over the course of the summer, the scam disappeared,
01:21with the fake news about Berton's resignation becoming the centerpiece.
01:25The disinformation was shared on the Kremlin-aligned Pravda network.
01:29It was also posted on a blog run by Frenchman Cyril Delattre,
01:33who lives in Russia and appears on Russian state TV as a commentator.
01:37This is not the first time that French intelligence services
01:39have been targeted by Russian disinformation campaigns.
01:42Céline Berton has previously spoken out about the threats that Russia poses to French democracy,
01:48as well as the need to question claims on social media.
