Video toont hoe een Noord-Afrikaan een Spanjaard met een mes dood steekt in Barcelona.

Publisher’s rating: Het steekincident vond plaats in de Turkse stad Aydin in februari 2023. Zowel dader als slachtoffer waren Turks. Het heeft geen enkele link met Spanje, Barcelona of migratie.

The video is real, but the review says it was taken out of context: it shows a stabbing in Aydin, Turkey, not Barcelona. Both the perpetrator and victim were Turkish, and the incident had no link to Spain or migration.

Jair Bolsonaro sofreu nova tentativa de homicídio

Publisher’s rating: ENGANOSO

The review says the claim is misleading: a man was detained at the fair on March 5 for carrying a knife, but there was no evidence he had attempted to harm Bolsonaro. The police report did not mention attempted homicide, and the review says the man was not linked to the MST.

The ill-gotten wealth cases against the Marcos family were mere "propaganda" and "have been shown to be untrue."

Publisher’s rating: False

Research from related reporting says the claim that the family won civil cases because its assets were proven not to be ill-gotten “went against the legal record.” It reports that courts ordered the forfeiture of specific assets linked to the Marcoses, while noting that the rulings did not cover the family’s entire fortune and that the government did not win every case.
