Social networks: how Russian agents attacked Brigitte Macron with a false testimony
(France 2)
6min
In a video relayed on social networks, a man presenting himself as a former student of Brigitte Macron claims to have been sexually assaulted by the First Lady. The “20 -hour eye” teams investigated this campaign mounted from scratch by Russian agents.
It is a video that sought to destabilize to the top of the state. An alleged former student of Brigitte Macron would have accused her of sexual assault. Facing the camera, we see a man with an accent accusing the First Lady of having kissed her on the mouth. A testimony all the more serious as it is completely false.
At the origin of this disinformation campaign called “Storm1516”, Russian agents. The video was posted by a certain Lionel T., which we searched online. This corresponds well to the name of a former student of the wife of Emmanuel Macron, who was well educated in the establishment where Brigitte Macron taught in the 1980s, in Alsace. But the man we found is not that of the video. He agreed to testify.
