Video footage has been released claiming to show the moment of the killing of Faton Hajrizi by Serbian forces, suspected of the murder of a Serbian policeman in Serbia.
This content, where military vehicles are seen and gunshots are heard, was published yesterday (July 21) by a YouTube channel called "editsland".
Is the claim true?
Hibrid.info found these images published before July 19, the date when Faton Hajrizit was killed.
Link to the video material published on Youtube by the "editslandi" channel:
Hibrid.info has verified these images by researching using the automated search program “InVID”. Hibrid.info’s findings show that this video was published most recently, on June 30 of this year, on TikTok (see here).
This content lacks a description that would make it clear what the video shows. But what is known is that it does not show the moment of the murder of Hajriz, who escaped from the Smrekonica prison in Kosovo.
Analyze:
The video that allegedly shows footage of the moment of Faton Hajrizi's murder is old.
Hibrid.info confirmed that the same video was published online no later than June 30, 2024.
Therefore, based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses this content as "Disinformation".
Reasoning:
"Disinformation" is defined as information content that contains a "mix" of inaccurate sources or even half-truthful attributes, and that is created and/or distributed with the deliberate intention of causing harm. The motive behind the producers/distributors of disinformation content lies in achieving a political, financial, psychological or social goal.
