At the end of April 2023, a video of the French television channel was encouraged in Runet, where they allegedly speak of a British network of pedophiles, which included dozens of politicians, journalists and artists. It is reported that they opened them recently. We checked whether this story corresponds to reality.
Publications with a viral roller lasting 1 minute 22 seconds were the most parted into Telegram. The most popular version of the post Sounds So: “On French television, it tells about the British scandal: a huge network of pedophiles - 76 politicians, 43 artists and 35 journalists. 100,000 children were involved. ” Also, the authors of records are often Add: “And at this very time in Brussels, a resolution on the“ genocide ”of Ukrainian children saved from the combat zone from Ukrainian shells is adopted in Brussels!” Sometimes in such posts you can see And the phrase “until Gates and the WHO controlled by him has completed their dirty business, pedophilia remains a crime,” which probably refers to inaccurate messages The fact that the WHO was excluded by the diagnosis of pedophilia from the new edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). Besides, Found And another clarification: “There is not a word about this in the media,” and this despite the fact that a little earlier in the same posts it was said about French television.
Similar publications are posted in the Telegram channels of publications "Own correspondent"(105,000 views at the time of writing this analysis) and"Ukraine.ru"(92 000), actor and TV presenter Oscars Kuchera (43,000), as well as Voblya (161,000), "Special operation z"(85,000),"True and cats"(79,000),"Global conspiracy"(52,000),"Coincidence"(52 000), Nina Vatt 🇷🇺 (30,000), "The first Kharkov"(23,000) and"Antifses | Operational news channel"(21,000). They wrote about the viral video on the sites "Crimea news tape" And "Morning South", On Twitter (examples here, here And here) and in numerous publics on VKontakte (here, here, here And here).

IN Strasbourg (and not at all in Brussels) April 27, 2023, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE, the European Council has nothing to do with the European Union, but their Russian -speaking users often confused) Accepted The resolution, in which he condemned the “deportation and violent movement of Ukrainian children and other civilians in the Russian Federation or to the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine”. In this document reportedthat the movement of Ukrainian children under the age of 17, as well as their “Russification” indicate genocide.
Among all the publications we have watched for April the earliest post with the French video about British pedophiles appeared In a small Telegram channel "Banter [about hidden]"(4400 subscribers) The day the day after the adoption of the resolution, PACE. Judging by the content, this channel aggregates various conspiracy theories: for example, there They wrote about the above exclusion of pedophilia from the ICD, as well as about aspiration Bill Gates Reduce the number Earth population with vaccines. The post also claimed that the media did not cover a scandal with British pedophiles.
However, thanks to the search by keywords, “verified” managed to find many news notes about the same incident. So, the French video refers to 1,400 suspects of pedophilia affairs, including 76 politicians. On the same on May 20, 2015 they wrote BBC, Reuters, The Guardian And Le Parisien. These publications reported the publication of data obtained during the Hydrant operation, which was organized by the British National Council of Police Chiefs (NPCC). As part of the operation, no investigations were conducted, but only collected information from various departments. At that time, according to the police of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, the objects of the investigation in connection with accusations of previously sexualized violence against children were 1433 people, among which 216 have already died, and 261 are indicated as people who occupy a “prominent public situation”, and among them:
- 135 representatives of television, cinema and radio (probably by mistake in viral posts they were indicated as “35 journalists”);
- 76 politicians;
- 43 representatives of the musical industry;
- 7 people from the world of sports.
666 of the investments about pedophilia, 357 institutions were concerned, where, presumably, sexualized violence against children was committed. Among them:
- 154 schools;
- 75 orphanages;
- 40 religious institutions;
- 14 medical institutions;
- 11 public institutions;
- 9 prisons;
- 9 sports complexes;
- 28 other institutions, including military units and guest houses;
- Another 17 institutions are noted as unknown.
The head of the Operation NPCC for the protection of children Simon Bailey spoke about the forecast according to which by the end of 2015 the police could get More than 110,000 reports of violence against children committed in the past, which is 71% more than in 2012. According to Bailey, although the number of victims is unknown, it is probably calculated by thousands. "These numbers make you think: is it not even more crimes?" He added.
Since French video at the end of April 2023 Distant and in foreign languages, he was noticed by factor from foreign projects, among which Facta, Reuters And Logically. They found that the source video May 21, 2015 Placed On YouTube, the French television channel CNews (until 2017 it It was called I-tele, which is reflected in the logo in the upper left corner of the screen). The video signatures indicate that the crimes described, allegedly, would be committed from the 1970s to the 1990s.
Already in 2020 Bailey declaredthat the British police revealed the "epidemic" of pedophilia, which took place in the 1970s and 1980s. According to the data published in The Guardian, from the moment of the start of the Hydrant operation, 7,000 suspects of sexualized violence of children were established, 11,346 statements from 9343 victims were received, according to the results of the consideration, 35% of the statements (4024) were submitted, and 6% (719) - acquittal sentences. Some statements belonged to the 1940s. Of the alleged crimes, 47% (5284) were not investigated by the police, more than a third of these cases due to the death of the suspect, and in the fifth of the suspects it was not possible to establish.
Thus, the events described in the viral video took place not in 2023, but in 2015. Sexual crimes in relation to the children in question were committed for several decades in the 20th century. In addition, the publications spoke about 35 suspects to journalists and 100,000 victims, although such data were not reported in the police.
