בעולם · Spain-Morocco border · ארכיוןSpain Fact-Checkers Map 50+ Instagram Accounts Guiding Morocco to Ceuta Crossingsנכתב 7 בספטמבר 2026 בשעה 21:22 UTCצפייהתמליל0:00Spanish fact checkers have mapped more0:01than 50 Instagram [music] accounts used0:03to coordinate crossings from Morocco0:05into Ceuta and at least four WhatsApp0:07groups used for the same route, both0:09findings documented [music] by Maldita's0:10and reported via DW News. Editor Alvaro0:13Garcia Hernandez [music] leads the0:15investigation at Maldita's, the Spanish0:17fact-checking organization that says its0:18[music] team entered around 20 WhatsApp0:20groups to monitor the discussions0:22directly. That monitoring puts a number0:24on the network [music] scale with more0:25than 50 Instagram accounts coordinated0:27toward the Spanish enclave. Alongside0:29that, Maldita documented at least four0:32WhatsApp groups [music] coordinating the0:33crossing, a minimum figure drawn from0:35the accounts and links it could verify.0:37Inside the chats, the coordination is0:39not abstract. Messages discuss concrete0:41logistics such as renting boats to make0:43the sea crossing, securing houses near0:46the border to gather before moving, and0:48arranging cars to reach departure0:49points. The infrastructure stretches0:51across platforms. Maldita found public0:53Facebook groups [music] called Haraga0:55that openly shared WhatsApp links,0:57turning a closed chat system into a0:59discoverable entry point anyone [music]1:01searching could find. That1:02discoverability also shapes how the1:04network survives. Alvaro Garcia1:06Hernandez said the groups create [music]1:07new groups because they are aware police1:09may try to infiltrate them, constantly1:11recreating chats after links circulate,1:13and Maldita says it does not know who is1:15behind the groups, [music] leaving the1:16organizers anonymous despite the public1:18footprint. The result is a persistent1:20multi-platform [music] system that1:22lowers the barrier to a dangerous sea1:24and land crossing into Ceuta and can1:25reappear faster than it can be removed1:28with the unresolved question whether1:29monitoring the logistics, the boats,1:31houses, and cars can interrupt the next1:33coordinated attempt before it launches.קריאת הכתבהציר הזמן של הסיפורHeyDexהסרטון הקצר ↗
