A personal Facebook profile has posted a photo with an edited "cheapfake" photo, falsely claiming a meeting between Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti and the leader of the Serbian List, Goran Rakic.
In the photo that has been tampered with, Kurti and Rakić are seen shaking hands.
After researching through the automated online fact-checking program "InVID", hibrid.info has managed to confirm that this photo is edited, as it was found that the authentic photo does not show Kurti, but the Serbian List MP in the Kosovo Assembly, Slavko Simic.
So, the author has removed Simiqi's face in the photograph, replacing it with Kurti's.
The edited photo, allegedly showing Kurti together with Rakici, was shared by readers in the comments of several Facebook articles on the portals "Gazetametro.net”And“Kosovo-sot.info".
During research conducted through online search engines, hibrid.info found the original photo, which shows Rakić and Simić. (see here, here and here)
Analyze:
A photo showing Kurti and Rakiq shaking hands is being circulated by users of the social network Facebook.
However, after verifying the facts, hibrid.info has confirmed that this photo is edited, as in the original one, instead of Kurti, it is the MP from the Serbian List in the Kosovo Assembly, Slavko Simić. Hibrid.info evaluates this photo as "Fraud".
