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 are circulating online,

00:14with 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.

00:31All of them use Euronews' graphics and branding,

00:33and many have since been shared by accounts on TikTok and X,

00:36purporting to be current or former Euronews journalists,

00:40including one claiming to be the channel's former CEO.

00:43They've received thousands of views and likes as of the time of recording,

00:46and some have since been deleted, but Euronews didn't produce any of these videos.

00:51The accounts posing as Euronews staff feature profile pictures that appear to be AI-generated.

00:56One supposedly belongs to a man called Brandon Goyce, who claims to be Euronews' former CEO.

01:02However, no such person has ever served as the channel's chief,

01:06and online searches yield no trace of anyone with that name and working in the media.

01:11Other profiles contain similar uncanny avatars and the same bio,

01:15hashtag Euronews or hashtag Euronews rep.

01:18They have also all only posted a single video each,

01:21all 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,

01:31a coordinated pro-Russian operation known among fact-checkers for spreading false news reports

01:36under the guise of international media outlets.

01:39The campaign often targets EU and NATO countries, as well as Ukraine,

01:43seemingly to weaken alliances and discredit Western democracies.

01:47Euroverify has already debunked other false videos attributed to Euronews

01:51as part of the disinformation campaign, which targeted Moldova, Romania and France.
