Incident 10622 Report
Brazilian Authorities Link Alleged AI-Generated Marcos Mion Videos to Purported Fake Restaurant Promotions in Brazil

2025-05-07

A 24-year-old man was arrested in Santa Helena de Goiás, Brazil, for allegedly using deepfake technology to impersonate TV host Marcos Mion in a fraudulent scheme. Authorities say he created fake promotional videos and websites mimicking the Outback restaurant chain to sell nonexistent discount vouchers. The arrest was part of Operation VoiceOver, a police initiative targeting AI-driven consumer scams. Charges include fraud, criminal association, and money laundering.

Incident 10231 Report
AI-Cloned Voice Falsely Depicts Kenyan President William Ruto Speaking French in Viral Video

2024-02-19

A video widely shared on TikTok and Facebook falsely presents Kenyan President William Ruto speaking in French during a speech in Tokyo on February 7, 2024. A reverse image search confirmed the original footage shows Ruto speaking in English to the Kenyan diaspora. The manipulated version used AI-generated French audio over the original video, making it a case of voice cloning rather than a full audiovisual deepfake.

Incident 10511 Report
Video Reportedly Created with AI Appears to Show Trump Backing Biafra Secession

2025-02-18

In February 2025, a video circulated on Facebook that appeared to show U.S. President Donald Trump expressing support for Biafran independence and calling for the release of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader Nnamdi Kanu. However, fact-checkers reportedly traced the visuals to a 2021 BBC video unrelated to Biafra; they noted signs of AI manipulation. The altered clip reportedly used tools such as ElonTalks to generate synthetic audio and video from a user-submitted script.
