The information portal "Periskopi.com" published yesterday (November 10) on its official Facebook page a photograph showing the portrait of Mallorca's Kosovar striker, Vedat Muriqi, placed on a wall.
This portal captioned this photo "Muriqi is treated like a 'king' in Mallorca."
However, after fact-checking by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that this photograph is staged. So, Muriqi's portrait is not placed on this part of the wall.
Link to the post published on the Periskopi.com Facebook page:
After research conducted through the automated online fact-checking program “InVID”, hibrid.info has managed to confirm that this photo is edited, as the real image does not contain Muriqi's portrait, but rather the Mallorca team logo and the words “FAN SHOP TIENDA OFICIAL RCD MALLORCA”. (see here)
Based on the research, the authentic photo found on the online photography platform "Shutterstock", taken on July 26, 2015, while its description states: "Exterior view of the football stadium on July 26, 2015 in Son Moix, Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain."
Another additional fact that the photo is old and edited is shown by the appearance of the red car seen in the background of this image, as well as the fact that the frame of the photo is the same.
Analyze:
The portal "Periskopi.com" has published a photo on its official Facebook page, showing the portrait of footballer Vedat Muriqi painted on a wall.
But, after verification of the facts carried out by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that this photograph is edited, while in the real one taken in 2015, there is the logo of the Mallorca football team, next to which it says "FAN SHOP TIENDA OFICIAL RCD MALLORCA".
Based on the working methodology, hibrid.info assesses this "Periscope" post as "Unverified Content".
Reasoning:
The “Unverified” rating is given to those media reports that do not provide sufficient information to confirm the claims made in the report, and which have not been able to confirm the same due to the lack or non-possession of reliable sources.
