In Brussels, @PoliticoEurope focused on the actors behind EU Chronicle – the same as behind EP Today last year: Madi Sharma.
They also reveal that MEPs @tobiszowski
& @marctarabella 
claim to have been abused by #IndianChronicles. https://www.politico.eu/article/india-pakistan-website-european-parliament-campaign-eu-chronicle-china/

On @Euractiv, MEP 
@djambazki, who is cited as one of the authors of EU Chronicle content, declared that he never "submitted any text" and is "looking into legal actions to resolve this issue”. https://www.euractiv.com/section/digital/news/1pm-embargo-meps-duped-by-manipulative-indian-disinformation-network/

But other MEPs participated extremely regularly in #IndianChronicles’ activities. In two articles, @oko_press exposes the continuous participation in this operation of former European Parliament Vice-President Ryszard Czarnecki .

On MEPs not declaring their activities, @BBC interviewed MEP @Daniel_Freund who says: “there is little incentive to respect the rules when the worst that can happen is to file a declaration after you have been caught”. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-55232432
. @BBC also points out the resilience of #IndianChronicles despite our preliminary investigation last year.
Here is their overview of the whole operation.

At the United Nations, in Geneva, @letemps uncovered how #IndianChronicles paid students in cash to speak on behalf of fake NGOs at the @UN_HRC.
Former interns reveal they earned up to 200 Swiss francs/day (186€). #HumanRightsDay

But who recruited these students and how?
@NicolasQuenel and @AntoineHasday will tell you. The journalists from @LesJours extensively covered our investigation with 2 articles published and 2 more to come. https://lesjours.fr/obsessions/inde-desinformation-influence/

In France, one particular focus of @LeMonde has been on some techniques (identity theft, fake media…) used by #IndianChronicles to produce pro-Indian content. https://www.lemonde.fr/les-decodeurs/article/2020/12/09/une-vaste-campagne-de-desinformation-et-d-influence-indienne-en-europe-devoilee_6062761_4355770.html
