US EditionArgentina Says It Uncovered Russian Disinformation Operation
- On June 18, Argentine authorities revealed that a Russian intelligence network had been identified in the country, aimed at disseminating pro-Kremlin disinformation, as stated by presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni.
- The group known as "La Compañía," which authorities associate with Kremlin connections and Russia's Project Lakhta disinformation efforts, sought to establish a network loyal to Russian interests and disseminate false information aimed at the Argentine government.
- The operation involved producing social media content, influencing local NGOs and civil organizations, organizing focus groups with Argentines, and gathering political intelligence for Moscow.
- Adorni affirmed that Argentina will maintain its sovereignty free from external influence and announced the establishment of a new Federal Investigations Department, inspired in part by the U.S. FBI, aimed at combating espionage and enhancing national security.
- This discovery suggests ongoing Russian efforts to influence regional politics, facilitated partly by a 2009 visa-free travel agreement, raising concerns over national security and foreign interference.
