On May 7, a fake article falsely circulated on behalf of Tabula under the title “After the final selection for EURO 2026, the remuneration of several members of the national team members caused a scandal” (archive link). The article is about EURO 2026 and the remuneration of the national team members and contains an interview of a presenter of the pro-government TV company, Imedi, with an anonymous source.
The article also shows a blurred photo of the performer, Anri Jokhadze.
The article falsely disseminated on behalf of Tabula was created for the purpose of fraud and is identical to other fraudulent articles about the Azerbaijani company, Socar.
The disseminated article is full of grammatical mistakes and is most likely a mechanical translation. The publication also features Socar, the Azerbaijani oil products importing company, whose brand name has been used in the past in fraudulent publications repeatedly identified by the Myth Detector.
The article said that the Imedi presenter, Noe Sulaberidze, gave his mobile phone to a national team player, they jointly registered for the Socar program and as a result made a first deposit of 500 GEL.
The article was published on the domain www.flowtempt.com 28 days after it had been registered in the state of California.
When going from the article page to the home page, the Socar logo is displayed. On the home page, there is a call to increase income through Socar.
The page is fraudulent and aims to mobilize finances.
