Russian-funded fake news network aims to disrupt election in Moldova - BBC News
A secret Russian-funded network is attempting to disrupt upcoming democratic elections in an eastern European state, the BBC has found.
Using an undercover reporter, we discovered the network promised to pay participants if they posted pro-Russian propaganda and fake news undermining Moldova's pro-EU ruling party ahead of the country's 28 September parliamentary ballot.
Moldova is sandwiched between Ukraine, and EU-member Romania, meaning it has strategic significance for both Europe and the Kremlin, experts have said.
