How Russian-funded fake news network aims to disrupt election in Europe - BBC investigation

A BBC investigation revealed a Russian-funded fake news network aiming to disrupt democratic elections in Moldova by spreading propaganda and fake news. The network recruited participants to post pro-Russian content attacking Moldova's pro-EU ruling party, offering payment for their efforts. The operation included social media posts, unofficial polling, and secret recordings to manipulate public opinion and potentially contest election outcomes. The network's links to Moldovan oligarch Ilan Shor and alleged ties to Russia highlight concerns about foreign interference in Moldova's political landscape.
