Money laundering probe did not start with Iker Jiménez or Manos Limpias
The media noise surrounding the alleged money laundering case has created a smokescreen attributing the origin of the investigation to unreliable sources: Iker Jiménez's TV show, the far-right association Manos Limpias, or the businessman Aldama. However, consistent sources indicate that the proceedings were initiated at the request of the French and Swiss prosecutors' offices, not through complaints from these actors.
Cadena SER has explicitly denied that the investigation began with any of them. Despite this, the narrative keeps circulating on forums and social media, fueled by those seeking to discredit the judicial inquiry. The hoax is repeated with identical wording, suggesting coordinated dissemination.
Who is pulling the strings?
The clues point to a disinformation operation. Tweets shared by anonymous sources link to videos that allegedly debunk the official version, but the core of the matter is simple: the request from the French and Swiss prosecutors over money laundering is the real trigger. The fact that this is not being reported on RTVE or other mainstream outlets is symptomatic of selective coverage.
The cost of the confusion
Beyond the noise, the case has economic implications: money laundering undermines the integrity of the financial system. Falsely attributing the origin of the investigation to media figures trivializes the substance and diverts attention from potential liabilities. Meanwhile, the concrete facts — prosecutors from two countries, opaque money — remain undisputed.
The remaining question is whether public opinion will manage to separate the wheat from the chaff. Judging by how viral the hoax has gone, the answer is not encouraging.
