Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific allegation that an opponent advised Telefonica and that the company was helping Maduro spy on Venezuelan citizens — a serious verifiable charge involving a named corporation and named foreign leader.
What we foundBoth parts of the claim are independently confirmed: Mike Rogers did serve as an advisor to Telefonica, and Telefonica's own transparency report—corroborated by multiple watchdog groups and news outlets—acknowledges it carried out mass surveillance of Venezuelan citizens at the behest of the Maduro regime.
