“la última inversión de [Andrés Manuel] López Obrador que asombra a los expertos y aterroriza a los grandes bancos”.

Publisher’s rating: Falso

The claim concerned a purported “special report” saying that Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador had made an investment that astonished experts and frightened major banks. The review says the message was sent to elDetector’s WhatsApp chatbot and was also circulating on Facebook. Its investigation found that the text was a lure directing readers toward cryptocurrency investments, not a genuine report of an investment by López Obrador. The review reports two checks bearing directly on the alleged investment: a spokesperson for Mexico’s presidency told elDetector by phone that the message’s information was completely false, and a Google search found no Mexican media reporting the supposed recommendation. These findings address the claim’s substance: the review identifies no disclosed investment or supporting reporting, and the presidency’s spokesperson rejected the message’s account. The review also searched Facebook for the full headline and found versions attributing the supposed investment to other well-known people, including businessman Carlos Slim, footballer Lionel Messi, and former Panamanian president Ricardo Martinelli. That pattern supports the review’s explanation that the headline was a reusable hook rather than a report about López Obrador. The article says the message attributed to him had circulated since at least 2020. It does not identify a real investment behind the claim; it describes the destination as cryptocurrency-investment pitches and the message as electronic fraud.
