At the end of July 2025, the Russian -speaking media distributed a statement with which the Moldavian official Angelica Karaman allegedly made. We checked the authenticity of this quote.
It was argued that, amid concerns about the possible attempts of Russia to influence the results of the parliamentary elections in Moldova, the head of the local Central Election Commission, Angelica Karaman, said: “There is a big difference between the EU and other states, therefore, the intervention of such a country as France is not considered external intervention in our elections. Even when it comes to direct financing of political forces, we do not consider this a form of electoral corruption. ” Thus, Karaman not only allegedly recognized Paris's intervention in the election campaign, but also justified it. In some news notes on this topic It was clarifiedthat the head of the Moldavian CEC made her statement in an interview with Jurnal TV channel.
This was reported by the leading Russian media (TASS, NTV, "Russian newspaper","Vedomosti","News"), Official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharovaas well as numerous Telegram channels, among which "The world today with "Yuri Podolyak""(1.7 million views at the time of writing this analysis),"Anatoly Shariy"(944 000),"Solovyov"(225 000),"Zlaya Prof"(208 000) and"Margarita Simonyan"(199 000).
Parliamentary elections in Moldova planned On September 28. In anticipation of voting, the authorities regularly warn that Russia can intervene in the election campaign and influence the results of the people's will. On July 29, the press service of the President of Moldova Maya Sandu said that the next day the country's security council will discuss this problem the next day. July 30, after the meeting, the head of state She said: “The Russian Federation wants to establish control over the Republic of Moldova since the fall and is preparing an unprecedented intervention in the September elections.”
“Verified” did not find on the sites of authoritative Moldavian media and their pages in social networks a statement attributed to Angelica Karaman. At the same time, a number of Russian -speaking sources do not only say that the head of the CEC justified European intervention in the elections during an interview with Jurnal TV, but the corresponding video.
At the bottom of the frame, the address of the Jurnal TV site and its YouTube channel are visible.
However, on these resources No No recent interview with Karaman. However, on May 22, official Participated The Cabinetul Din Umbră program. She was wearing the same costume as in a viral video, the title in both videos also coincides.
At the same time, in the May interview, Karaman does not make those statements that sound in a video common Telegram channels.
"Verified" analyzed the video using the service to identify AI-Contain Deepfake-O-Meter, which was developed by researchers from the University of Buffalo. Several detectors at once showed that the video with a high probability is generated by a neural network.
Even more confidently about this can be said if with the help of the same service to analyze the audio track from the video.
July 31 The authenticity of the video Disputed The CEC of Moldova. Her statement, in particular, said that the video was created "with a clear goal to undermine the trust of society against democratic institutions, manipulate public opinion and influence the honesty of the electoral process." “An investigation is being conducted to establish authors, sources of distribution and possible external relations involved in the creation of these materials,” the CEC assured.
The earliest publication of the falsified video found “verified” appeared on July 29 21:50 Moscow time in the Telegram channel Victoria Furtune, leader of the opposition party Moldova Mare. The politician accompanied the fake video with his own critical comments. The next morning video distributed Moldovan Russian -speaking media, and later the fragment from the Furtune roller became viral. characteristic For her accounts in social networks, the design of Russian -speaking subtitles. Where the politician got this video, she did not specify, but the next day she deleted the publication, like many other channels.
At the same time, the resources that are struggling with it are actual distributors of misinformation. So, July 31, when the fake was already Delassed Moldovan journalists, pseudo -fakkeing Telegram channel "War with fakes", Refuting Sandu's statement about Russia's interference in the September elections, used a statement assigned to Caraman as a counterargument. We also note the incorrect work of the GROK Chat Bot, which X users often use to verify the authenticity of information. He repeatedly “confirmed” the quote Karaman, referring to pro -Russian resources, and far from authoritative.
Thus, a viral video with a statement by Angelica Karaman is a dipfake created on the basis of her May interview.
