Um vídeo que circula nas redes sociais mostra o momento do furto de chocolates realizado por quatro pessoas em uma unidade das Lojas Americanas em Suzano, região metropolitana de São Paulo, sobreposto a uma reportagem da CNN que mostra o discurso de Flávio Dino defendendo que não se aplique a pena de prisão para crimes menos graves. A imagem também é acompanhada do texto “já pode roubar à vontade”.

Publisher’s rating: Enganoso

The theft was reported on January 26, 2024, and Americanas said it happened in Suzano on the same day as that report. Dino’s speech came later, on January 31; the review says the video’s editing and captions misleadingly suggest a causal link and imply that he encouraged theft.

“La evidencia, él dijo, [apunta que] yo no retuve deliberadamente estos documentos”.

Publisher’s rating: Engañoso

The review rates Biden’s statement misleading because Hur’s report included both evidence that Biden deliberately retained and shared classified material after his vice presidency and evidence suggesting he did not deliberately retain the documents at issue in another passage. The review notes that Hur declined to bring charges, citing the possibility of reasonable doubt.
