Office of President slams fake video posts

President of Malta Myriam Spiteri Debono

The Office of the President of Malta (OPR) is aware of several pages and profiles impersonating President Myriam Spiteri Debono on Facebook, X and Instagram.

These pages are not only using the President’s name and photos, but also using AI techniques to produce deepfake video content falsely attributing on-camera footage and comments to the President.

The Office of the President disassociates itself from any such content aimed at attracting people to financial investments, mainly crypto, that are fake and may lead to people falling victim to scams.

Once aware of any such profiles and content, OPR immediately reports such instances to the relevant authorities, for appropriate action to be taken.

The Office of the President thanks all those who alert it to any such scams and urges everyone to remain vigilant so as not to fall victim.

This Office would also like to inform that the only official pages of President Myriam Spiteri Debono are https://www.facebook.com/MyriamSpiteriDebono on Facebook, https://www.instagram.com/president_mt/ on Instagram, and https://x.com/president_mt on X.
