The information portal "Le Canton27.ch", which calls itself "the first Swiss newspaper in the Albanian language", published yesterday on its official Facebook page (October 4) an image with the caption in which it is claimed that Rifat Jashari, brother of Adem and Hamëz Jashari, has declared that: "You'll pay dearly for hugs and kisses with Vucic from Kosovo, remember."
The portal claims that Jashari's statement came as a reaction to Edi Rama, the Albanian Prime Minister.
However, after research, hibrid.info has not been able to find evidence that such a statement came from the representative of the Jashari family.
Link to the post published by "Le Canton27.ch":
The same claim was published in 2021 by the Facebook page named “Rtv Gjilani Press”. (see here)
Hibrid.info has checked but has not been able to find an official Facebook profile or other social networks of Rifat Jashari, in which his alleged statement could be verified. (see here)
Also, after a search conducted by “Hibrid.info” through the search engine “Google”, no reliable sources were found that confirm Rifat Jashari’s alleged statement. (see here)
It seems that the publication of such a claim is related to Edi Rama's recent statements given to the "Financial Times", published on Koha.net. (see here)
Analyze:
The information portal "Le Canton27.ch" on Facebook has published the image of the representative of the Jashari family, Rifat Jashari, with the caption claiming that the latter made a statement in reaction to the Albanian Prime Minister, Edi Rama.
But after research by "hibrid.info", no facts or evidence from reliable sources have been found that confirm the alleged statement.
Therefore, based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses the publication as "Fake News".
Reasoning:
The "Fake News" rating is given to media reports that are entirely the product of a medium that itself contains factually incorrect claims or information.
Content that is considered fake news can be reliably determined to have been created and distributed with the intent to misinform the public, i.e., to present a claim that is completely false as fact.
